The Commissioner of Police in Niger State has called for the deployment of additional security personnel to support ongoing efforts to combat insurgency and other criminal activities across the state.

He made the appeal while highlighting the security challenges facing several communities, particularly in areas affected by attacks from armed groups and other criminal elements.

According to the police chief, the vast geographical size of Niger State and the complexity of security threats require increased manpower and improved operational capacity.

He noted that additional personnel would enhance intelligence gathering, surveillance operations and rapid response to security incidents.

The commissioner also stressed the importance of stronger collaboration among security agencies, local communities and government authorities in tackling insecurity.

He commended officers and men of the command for their commitment despite the challenges posed by limited resources and manpower.

The police boss assured residents that security agencies remain determined to restore peace and protect lives and property across the state.

He further urged members of the public to continue supporting security operations by providing credible information that could assist in preventing criminal activities.

The call for reinforcement comes amid ongoing efforts by security agencies to curb insurgency, banditry, kidnapping and other threats affecting parts of the state.

Authorities expressed optimism that increased personnel and enhanced coordination would strengthen the overall security architecture and contribute to lasting peace in the affected communities.
