To strengthen the Nigeria Police Force's operational capacity, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has commissioned a state-of-the-art Police Mechanical Workshop, unveiling a fleet of new tactical and operational vehicles at separate ceremonies in Abuja.
The newly commissioned workshop, located in Dei-Dei, Abuja, is equipped with cutting-edge technology to ensure the efficient maintenance of police operational vehicles.
Speaking at the event, the IGP said the facility will significantly reduce downtime for tactical units and bolster the Force’s ability to respond swiftly to emergencies across the country.
Egbetokun explained that the workshop is a strategic addition to the infrastructure that will enhance mobility and operational readiness in critical situations.
Similarly, at the Force Headquarters, the IGP also unveiled 40 tactical and operational vehicles, including anti-riot water cannon trucks and Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs).
The additions are expected to boost the Police Force’s ability to tackle security challenges and maintain public order.
Reaffirming the Police Force’s commitment to protecting lives and property, the IGP issued a stern warning to individuals and groups threatening the nation’s peace.
“To those who are working to disrupt the peace and stability of our country — be warned,” the IGP declared. “The Nigeria Police Force will come for you. We will act proactively, strategically, and decisively to run you out of town.”
The Inspector-General's actions are part of broader reforms aimed at enhancing police effectiveness and public safety nationwide.
