The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has ordered the closure of all satellite units of the Intelligence Response Team and Special Tactical Squad across the country.
The order may not be unconnected with the arrest of the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police and Head, Intelligence Response Team of the Nigeria Police Force, Abba Kyari and others by Police authorities and handing them over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for alleged drug related issues.
Officers serving in the satellite units have also been directed to report to the Force Headquarters, Abuja for debriefing.
Management of the Force Headquarters also directed that the IRT/STS Headquarters in Abuja be fortified and organised to enhance operational performance with a view to combat emerging trends.
