In an effort to reposition the intelligence department of the Nigeria Police Force for optimal performance, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Olukayode Adeolu Egbetokun,  has ordered the posting of Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs) to head the Intelligence Department of the Force at both the Zonal and State Commands level nationwide. 

This is contained in a statement signed by the Force Spokesman, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in Abuja, on Tuesday.

The posting, according to a statement, is premised on the desire of the IGP to improve and enhance the effectiveness of the Intelligence Department at every level of the Force.

This, he noted, is as a panacea to addressing the crime rate in the country, in line with the vision statement of the current leadership of the Force.  

It would be recalled that the IGP on assumption of duty reactivated the Presidential approval to upgrade the Force Intelligence Bureau to the status of a Department with the  appointment of DIG Habu Sanni, as the DIG in charge of the new Department of Force Intelligence. 

The IGP has, however, charged the newly appointed Senior Officers to deploy all intelligence-based assets in combating crimes and criminality in their respective areas of responsibility. He has further charged them to entrench professionalism and apply their wealth of experience in the course of discharging their duties towards strengthening the already existing intelligence architecture of the Force.
