Police to recruit 50 constables from each local government area in Nigeria

It is now a done deal that fifty constables are to be recruited by the Nigeria Police Force for each of the seven hundred and seventy-four local government areas of the country.

Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, who confirmed this while kick-starting the Police Campaign against Cultism and Other Vices in Enugu, said with the exercise, there will be more than forty thousand constables across the country.

Adamu, who was represented by the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 9, Baba Tijini, said the Federal Government was focused on getting all stakeholders to fight insecurity in the land.

He appealed to all Nigerians to key into the programme for the overall reduction of crime in all communities in the country, noting that the Force would partner local citizens to easily identify security threats and proffer local solutions to them.
