The Nigeria Police Force said it
would deploy K9 Dog trailers to the Abuja-Kaduna highway and other strategic
areas in Abuja for crime control.
Charles Ugomuoh, Assistant
Inspector-General of Police in charge of Force Animal Branch, disclosed this at
the inauguration of the K9 Dog trailers in Abuja on Wednesday.
Mr. Ugomuoh said that other areas
the dogs would be deployed included Abuja international airport, Force
headquarters, National Assembly, National Defence College, Federal Secretariat
and other black spots.
He said that the trailers would also
be deployed to escort peaceful protesters and processions.
He said that the k9 sniffers would
be used to detect IEDs, narcotics, arms and ammunitions, and crime prevention
and detection.
Mr. Ugomuoh said that the
acquisition of the technology was one of the many efforts of the
Inspector-General of Police to re-strategise the police force for better
service delivery.
He said the technology consisted of
six compartments kennels with factory fitted air conditioner for the deployment
of sniffer and general purpose patrol dogs.
The Inspector-General of Police,
Ibrahim Idris, directed the deployment of more dogs to the Abuja and Lagos
airports to track drugs and other airport crimes.
