A high-powered meeting between the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Adamu Mohammed and top officers of the law enforcement agency is reportedly going on in Abuja.
The meeting, according to Daily Sun, is being held over issues relating to insecurity, especially ahead of the festive season - Christmas and New Year celebrations.
The report says the meeting is holding at the IGP’s conference room at the force headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria's capital city and is attended by police commissioners in the 36 states of the country.
The police commissioner in charge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and members of the IGP management team, deputy inspectors-general and assistant inspectors-general are also in attendance at the meeting.
The report says those at the meeting would discuss current trends of crimes in the country, indiscriminate road checks and extortion by policemen, especially in the southeastern part of Nigeria.
Other items for discussion at the meeting are arms and ammunition/missing arms, tour of new facilities by commissioners of police, department briefings, and general security feedback.
Legit.ng reported recently that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo faulted the rise in number of security checkpoints in the southeast.
The group alleged that this rise was a ploy to harass and exploit Igbo who would return en masse for the Christmas festivities.
This was the position of the group's chairman in Anambra state, Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene, in a press statement made available to journalists.
