Police Withdraw Officers Attached to VIPs Over Manpower Shortages – DIG Alabi

The coordinating Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG) in charge of Southwest, Sylvester Alabi, has stated that police officers attached to some influential individuals in the country have been withdrawn, in a bid to address shortage of manpower in the police force.

Abiodun stated this on Monday in Ado-Ekiti during his maiden visit to Ekiti State police headquarters.

He explained that the police does not have enough manpower, so the federal government approved constant recruitment of more men to enable the force deliver effectively and efficiently.

The DIG added that the force will not shy away from the use of drones, saying the security agency will imbibe a variety of technologies in a bid to achieve zero level of crime in the country.
