The Inspector General of Police made this statement in Warri, Delta State, during the occasion of the inauguration ceremony of the State Intelligence Investigation Bureau, SIIB, Office in Warri Area Command, Delta State, by the Centre for Peace and Environmental Justice, CEPEJ.
The IGP who was represented by Delta State Commissioner of Police, CP Hafiz Inuwa, noted that Intelligence was the bedrock of modern policing globally.
Adamu said the completion of the building project was apt in the sense that it will position the Intelligence wing of the Nigerian Police Force to be at its best.
“It will contribute immensely in keeping the police ahead of the criminal elements in the society and as such proactively nip in the bud the various activities of the men of the underworld.
