The development is coming 24 hours after the Police Service Commission asked the IGP to check the proliferation of police investigating units.

The order was due to the incessant complaints of harassment and operating beyond their briefs over cases of investigations.

Usman Alkali, is meeting with commissioners of police to address the various security challenges bedeviling the country.

The meeting which is taking place at the International Peace Keeping Centre behind the police force headquarters is being attended by Deputy Inspectors General of Police(DIGs), Assistant Inspectors General of Police(AIGs), among other top senior police officers.
