Distribution and Deployment Of Nigeria Policing Officers Across The World

The meeting was held amidst the security challenges Nigeria is facing. These challenges include insurgency, banditry and kidnapping.

At the meeting, the police boss briefed the officers on some of the achievements of the force in tackling the challenges. Also discussed was the incessant protests by the Shiite Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) against the incarceration of the group’s leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat.

Over a dozen people were killed last week during the Shiites protests. The victims include a senior police officer, a journalist and many Shiites. The government on Friday secured a court order to proscribe the group. On Tuesday, Mr Adamu vowed that the police would deal with anyone that associates with the IMN.

“In consequence, henceforth, any person engaged or associating, in any manner that could advance the activities of the proscribed Islamic Movement in Nigeria, shall be treated as a terrorist, enemy of the State, and a subversive element and shall be brought to justice within the context of the Terrorism Act,” he said.
