Nigeria’s crime profile is declining, says Inspector General of Police

Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, says the national crime profile of the country has continued to decline in relation to the previous quarters.

Adamu said in Abuja that this trend is indicative of the effectiveness of policing strategies which are based on community partnership practices, application of cutting-edge policing technologies and crime management solutions, the engagement and integration of intelligence-led policing standards to their functions at all operational and investigative levels, and an enhanced inter-agency collaboration orientation.

Speaking during a conference with senior police officers at the IGP Conference Hall at the Force Headquarters on Thursday, Adamu said in furtherance of this, the trust gap between the citizens and the Police have been significantly narrowed and the bond to fight and reclaim communities from criminals who are our common enemies has been strengthened.

The IGP said in addition, the commitment and capacity of the Nigeria Police to re-dominate the public space and deny criminals the liberty to manifest their heinous crimes has been appreciably boosted.
