The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai, has confirmed the involvement of police officers in the on-going efforts to rid the North East region of Boko Haram.
The COAS, who spoke on Tuesday night during the premiere of the Nigeria Police TV series titled ‘Beyond Your Sight’, said he was impressed to see police officers on patrol, when he undertook operational visits to some towns in Borno State.
According to Buratai, the operational capacity of the Police will be enhanced, if they are provided with the needed logistics and other requirements.
The Army Chief maintained that society will be best served, where there is a synergy between the Army and the Police.
Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Solomon Arase, has launched a TV series, in his quest to rebrand the Force and make it people-centred.
In his remarks at the occasion, Arase said his desire to bridge the gap between the Police and the society, necessitated the TV series, which premiere in Abuja on Tuesday night attracted people from various sections, including the media and Nollywood.
