He ordered all Commands and Formations to intensify efforts towards decimating the proliferation of illicit arms and ammunition in the country.

Furthermore, the Inspector-General of Police has charged all Strategic Police Managers to deploy the additional distributed operational assets and manpower to ensure the emplacement of a proper security arrangement for the upcoming elections as all hands must be on deck to ensure that the elections are conducted in a peaceful and secure environment.
