The Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has clarified the report making the rounds over the alleged disbanding of all police units and squads in state commands.
In a statement by police spokesperson, Anthony Placid, the claim was described as misleading and inaccurate.
According to IGP Disu, the police under his leadership only directed the reduction of the tactical teams at the zonal and state command levels to a maximum of five and at the area command and divisional levels to a maximum of three to avoid proliferation and duplication.
