The Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Olatunji Disu, has ordered  Commissioners of Police, CPs, to immediately undertake a comprehensive audit of arms and ammunition within their respective commands.

Mr Disu gave the order on Tuesday in Abuja at the opening of an emergency conference with CPs in charge of state commands.

He said the audit must be thorough, transparent and properly documented, with detailed reports forwarded to the Force Headquarters.

According to him, the objective is to strengthen accountability, identify existing gaps and provide an accurate assessment of the operational needs of the force.

He said the exercise was not a routine administrative task, but a critical measure to enhance the force readiness and prevent misuse.

MR Disu said it was also to ensure that all assets entrusted to the force were properly accounted for and optimally deployed.

The IGP said the force had recorded landmark achievements in the reform of its operational structure with the reconstitution and remodelling of the force state-level anti-crime capacity.

He added that “the Special Weapons and Tactics Units have been reorganised and elevated into new formation — the Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU).

“This is not a rebranding exercise. The VCRU represents a fundamental shift in how we approach serious crime in Nigeria.
