According to Okunola Kamaldeen, the Assistant Inspector General of Police for Zone 6, the freshly graduating constables from the Police Training School would supplement their personnel requirements in the upcoming 2023 elections.
At the event for the graduation of 560 new recruits, he disclosed this information while being represented by Usman Alkali Baba, the Inspector General of Police.
The 2021 class of recruit constables was welcomed and deployed by Kamaldeen at the Police Training School in Odukpani, Cross River State.
In order to reposition the Force for efficient service delivery, he continued, the exercise is in line with the President’s direction for 10,000 new recruits each year across the nation’s 774 LGAs.
The AIG stated, “The recruits were trained in professional, legal, and liberal studies to enable them to carry out law enforcement, crime prevention/detection, and preservation of peace and order in the country. The statement was signed by SP Nelson A. Okpabi, Police PRO zone six.
They would be assigned to their home local government areas in order to support the Nigeria Police’s planned citizen-driven community policing strategy.
The AIG came to the conclusion that the IGP is using the passing-out parade, which was held simultaneously in twelve Training Schools and four Premier Colleges across the nation, to ensure that Nigerians have adequate protection as they engage in their legal obligations.
