The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, says the force has procured special patrol vehicles to be deployed soon across highways in the country to tackle insecurity.
Adamu stated this today during his official visit to officers and men of the Oyo State Police Command.
The IGP said that the vehicles, which were different from the usual patrol vehicles currently in operation, have special gadgets that would help to easily detect crime on the highways.
Adamu also said that the government had acquired body armour for the protection of officers on duty.
He further said that President Muhammadu Buhari had agreed to ensure that the existing police barracks were renovated while new ones were constructed.
He acknowledged that there were isolated challenges, adding that the situation would have been worse if not for the input and dedication of the officers in fighting crimes.
