In Nigeria, the safety and security of educational institutions have become major concerns due to the increasing number of kidnappings and attacks on students and teachers. However, the Imo State Police Command, under the leadership of Inspector-General of Police Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has taken a proactive step towards addressing this issue.
The School Protection Squad (SPS) launched by the Imo State Police Command is a commendable move aimed at making schools in the state safer for students, teachers, and other members of the educational community. Comprising over one hundred well-trained personnel, the SPS is equipped with the necessary tools and training to handle any security threat that may arise in schools. By working hand in hand with school authorities, the SPS provides 24/7 protection and surveillance to ensure the safety of everyone within the school premises.
With the deployment of the SPS in Imo State, parents can now have peace of mind knowing that their children are in safe hands while they receive their education. This special squad not only provides a sense of peace and security for the entire school community but also deters potential attackers.
It is also important to note that the Inspector-General, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has shown his commitment to student safety by launching the Safe School Initiative in 2017, aimed at protecting schools and improving the safety of students and teachers. The establishment of the SPS in Imo State is a continuation of this initiative and a testament to the Inspector-General’s dedication to safeguarding educational institutions.
The launch of the School Protection Squad in Imo State is a commendable move that will go a long way in making schools in the state safer for students, teachers, and other members of the educational community. This initiative is a testament to the Inspector-General’s commitment to student safety and will provide a much-needed sense of peace and security to parents and the entire school community.
