The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, on Thursday inspected modern intelligence installations at Idu Community in Abuja, as part of efforts to strengthen intelligence-led policing in Nigeria.
The visit, according to the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, formed part of the Nigeria Police Force’s strategic engagement with indigenous security experts. He noted that the IGP is partnering with EIB STRATOC, a local security solutions provider, to deepen collaboration and enhance the nation’s security architecture.
IGP Egbetokun, who was accompanied by senior police chiefs including DIG Ben Nebeolisa Okolo (Force Intelligence Department), DIG Adebowale Williams (ICT), AIG Adeleke Taiwo (Operations), and CP Felix Obe (Federal Operations), emphasized that intelligence gathering remains the foundation of effective policing in the 21st century.
He stressed the commitment of the Force under his leadership to harnessing technology, innovation, and both indigenous and foreign expertise in tackling emerging security threats. The IGP assured that the partnership would not only boost operational capabilities but also build public trust and enhance synergy with critical stakeholders.
While commending the ingenuity of EIB STRATOC, the police chief called on other security experts and Nigerians at large to collaborate with the Police and other security agencies in advancing technology-driven intelligence for a safer and more secure nation.
