#ENDSARS#: IG Declares No More Usage Of Guns during operation (see details)
he Nigerian Police says its men will no longer be allowed to carry firearms during operations.
Instead, officers of the Police Force will now make use of electro-muscular disruption technology
known as teaser in place of firearms.
The Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Muhammad Adamu disclosed this while addressing men and women of the Nigerian Police Force at the Police College parade ground, Ikeja, Lagos, on Monday.
Adamu said the use of the teaser otherwise known as rubber bullet will be used by the routine patrols, arrest duties and other low-risk operations “as strategic approach towards reducing incidents of fatalities associated with misappropriation of lethal weapons by the Police as first line of response to any threat.”
He was reacting to the spate of extra judicial killings by some policemen in recent weeks.
