Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba, has said that the recent attacks on police stations across Nigeria and killing of officers have dampened police officers\u2019 morale.<\/p>\n

In recent times, police stations in the South East and some states in the South-South have been attacked by gunmen.<\/p>\n

The latest incident took place on Monday, April 19 as unidentified hoodlums razed the zone 13 police headquarters in Ukpo, Anambra state.<\/p>\n

IGP Baba after meeting with President Buhari on Monday told newsmen that efforts are being put in place to ensure that the situation is adequately addressed to ensure improved security, and also motivate officers to discharge their duties professionally.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you are aware, the morale of many police officers has been seriously dampened now because of the rampant killings of officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we need to do a kind of motivational work to ensure that we raise the morale of police, and this we have started, and I believe it\u2019s going to yield a positive result in due time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have promised to do my best to change the narrative. In view of the renewed attacks on police formations, the order is for me to do my best, and see how we can go about solving the problem of internal security in this country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have taken over the very crucial time. I am fully aware of the situation in the country, and I am introducing what I feel will mitigate these security challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve started implementing them, and I\u2019m ready to come on board with the president so that we can get all the support that is necessary to go about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso I need some improvement in both logistics, manpower, and equipment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
