The Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of the Maritime Command, Mohammad Katsina, says it will no longer be business as usual for pipeline vandals, smugglers and pirates in the area under his watch.
To this end, Katsina, who assumed the leadership of the Command in April, said he had created two additional departments comprising of men with special training in diving to serve as quick responders.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, said in a statement on Sunday that the AIG announced the creation of the two departments last week at the maiden he held with the officers under his command.
According to the statement, Katsina explained that the commanded needed to be restructured for better effectiveness in its operations against smugglers, pirates and pipeline vandals, whose activities he said had increased in recent times.
He also disclosed the plan to partner with other security agencies especially in the training of the men under his command in “aquatic life and aquatic combat operations.”
He assured stakeholders in the maritime sector that the positive effects of the restructure would soon be felt.
He also said the restructure will engender better discipline among the officers, as all officers were now required to obtain a pass from the administrative department before proceeding on any form of leave and in cases of sickness.
“Only defiant officers are scared of sanctions. My intention is to fight miscreants and their likes within the 20 states of the maritime jurisdiction of this Command,” Katsina said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
