AIG Tasks Nigerians On Security
Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG Zone XI, Mr Sikiru Akande, has called on Nigerians to see security of the nation as a business concern for all.
Besides, Akande who formally retired from the Nigerian Police Force on Thursday maintained that all hands must be on deck to rid the society of criminals.
Speaking with journalists in Osogbo, on his journey in the force, Akande insisted that the call became imperative in view of the fact that those committing various crimes are people and not spirit.
“A simple information about these criminals, their activities and those with the tendency of engaging in nefarious activities, will go a long way in assisting the security agents to curb their negative activities in the land”
On how the Nigerian Police could be improved to meet increasing societal security challenges, the AIG implored the authorities to continue to deploy modern gadgets obtainable in other climes while at the same time not compromising regular trainings of men and officers of the force.
Akande expressed appreciation for the opportunity to serve the nation at all levels he had been to, adding, “This, I never take for granted. Indeed, I cherish my journey in the Police Force; the people I met, the places I have been to and the services I have rendered which are appreciated”
The AIG who appreciated former President Goodluck Jonathan, and President Muhammadu Buhari who without any sentiment, allowed him to provide route security for them and their families, expressed his readiness to continue to serve the country in whatever capacity he might be needed in the nearest future.
