IG Police urges ALGON to embrace community partnership

The Inspector-General of Police (IG), Mr Solomon Arase, has urged the Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) to embrace community partnership to fight crimes and criminality.

This is contained in a statement issued by the Force Spokesperson, acting Commissioner of Police, ACP Olabisi Kolawole, in Abuja on Friday.

It said that Arase made the call when the association led by its National President, Mr Micah Jibah, visited the IG-P.

The statement said Arase urged the association not to relent at rendering moral and logistic support to the Police at the local level to boost and consolidate national security.

Arase enjoined them to mobilise their people to give useful information that would nip crime in the bud to the Police and other security agencies.
He noted that the association was the hub of security at the local government level.

Earlier, Jibah pledged to support the initiative of the IG-P for an enhanced community partnership that would guarantee a robust security for lives and property.

He reiterated the readiness of the association to support the Nigeria Police to fight crime and equally put an end to all the security challenges facing the country.
