IGP confirms Enugu as one of the safest places in Nigeria

The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Dikko Abubakar, yesterday, declared that Enugu State has the lowest crime rate in the country, explaining that this fact was buttressed by statistics and empirical evidence.

Abubakar, who spoke while taking delivery of 100 brand new vehicles donated to the police by Enugu State government, stated that this was largely a result of the tremendous support that the administration of Governor Sullivan Chime had been giving the police and other security agencies.

He said: “Today, I can confirm, as the Inspector-General of Police, that Enugu State has the lowest crime rate in Nigeria. I also confirm that Enugu is one the safest places in Nigeria. This is the result of the wonderful partnership between the Enugu State Government, the Police and other security agencies.”

The Inspector General said the latest donation of vehicles by the government was unprecedented in the sense that it included both patrol vans and sedans (saloon cars) adding that it fell in line with the new policy objective of his administration to move away from vans as is the practice in the advanced countries.
