The Acting Inspector General of Police,
Mr Solomon Arase, on Friday reopened the
Nigeria Police Intelligence School in Enugu State
abandoned a year ago.
Arase said that the major thrust of his
administration was to enhance intelligence
driven-policing.
According to him, the intelligence school has
been shut for the past one year and once you
cannot drive the internal security management
through intelligence, then, you will be groping in
the dark.
"I am here to reopen our intelligence school. It
has been something that I have been passionate
about in the past two years since I was the head
of the intelligence unit.
"That has been one of my strategic plans and I
am happy that it is now open. The police force
cannot operate without intelligence,’’ he said.
Arase reiterated his warning against mounting of
road blocks in the country by the force, adding
that it would henceforth hold Police
Commissioners and Area Commanders
responsible for violation of the order.

He said that he had set up a monitoring squad
on illegal road block throughout the federation
as part of efforts to eliminate corruption in the
force.
The police boss said his administration would
not tolerate undue detention of suspects in
police cells.
He, however, urged officers and men to always
expedite investigation of cases for quick
dispensation of justice and decongestion of cells.
On welfare of the police, Arase said it was one
of his priorities and promised to improve on it.
It is reported that the intelligence school was
inaugurated in 2013 by the former Inspector-
General, Mr Mohammed Abubakar, but went into
comatose after one year.
Arase also paid a courtesy call on Gov. Sullivan
Chime of Enugu State where he commended the
state government for its contributions toward
ensuring improved policing in the state.
"We know that this is a transition period but we
appeal to you to intimate your successor on
ways to continue with the assistance to the
police in the state.
"Socio-economic development cannot take place
where there is crisis,’’ he said.
In his response, Chime congratulated the Arase
on his new appointment.
Chime decried the inadequate use of the heliport
built by the state government for the Nigerian
Police in the state.
He said the heliport would ensure adequate
security of the state and the entire South-East.
The governor promised to continue to partner
with the police even after leaving office.
"Security is paramount to Enugu State and I am
optimistic that the incoming administration will
continue to maintain adequate security,’’ Chime
said.
It is reported that the Inspector-General of
Police was accompanied by the Commissioners
of Police from Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and
Imo.
