Police Creates 2 New Area Commands, Upgrades 5 Divisions in Benue to Boost Security

The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, has approved the creation of two new Area Commands and the upgrade of five Police Stations to Divisional Headquarters in Benue State as part of efforts to strengthen security in the state.

The Force Headquarters said the move followed a comprehensive appraisal of the security situation in the state, particularly in troubled local government areas, where increased police presence has become necessary to address recurring threats.

The newly created commands include the Daudu Area Command, which will oversee Guma, Daudu, Yelwata, and Agan Police Divisions, and the Naka Area Command, which will supervise Naka, Apa, Agatu, and Okpokolo Police Divisions.

Similarly, Police Stations in Ayilamo, Yelwata, Jato-Aka, Okpokolo, and Agan have been upgraded to full-fledged Divisions, a move expected to improve response to distress calls, foster quicker conflict resolution, and bring policing services closer to the grassroots.

IGP Egbetokun charged the Benue State Commissioner of Police and officers deployed to the new commands to demonstrate professionalism and renewed commitment in ensuring robust security in the affected areas. He also urged the state government and residents to continue supporting the police, stressing that collaboration remains vital to enhancing service delivery and sustaining peace.

In addition, the IGP directed commissioners of police in other states facing similar security challenges in difficult terrains to adopt practical strategies for community-driven policing. He assured that the Force Headquarters would provide the necessary resources and support to ensure sustainable security across the country.
