Nigerian Police Urged to Leverage Tech to Combat Insecurity

A US-based Nigerian police officer has urged the Nigeria Police Force to adopt technology to combat insecurity, citing its potential to improve law enforcement capabilities.

A US-based Nigerian police officer, Monday Alade, has urged the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to leverage technology as a key strategy in combating insecurity in the country. Alade, who is based in the US but maintains ties with the NPF, believes that embracing cutting-edge tech innovations will be instrumental in addressing the complex security challenges facing Nigeria. By harnessing technology, the NPF can improve response times, enhance forensic capabilities, and better connect with the public to build trust and prevent crime. Alade's advice comes as the NPF continues to grapple with a range of security threats, including terrorism, kidnapping, and armed robbery.
