Arase noted that stun gun is now the new best practice methodology and is becoming internationally prevalent as it aids in the reduction of casualties associated with misuse of firearms. Speaking at the end of a two-day seminar on ‘Strategic Policing’ in Abuja, the IGP explained that police training colleges across the country are equipped to accommodate the officers that will be recruited, noting that, for effective training, the recruits will be trained across the six geo-political zones in the country. Assuring that the recruitment process will be transparent, the IGP explained that most of the applicants will be disqualified because of their age, height and that federal character will be applied. Arase allayed the fear that the menace of herdsmen will degenerate into another Boko Haram insurgency, pointing out that the menace was a result of the different crisis in the West African and Arabic regions.]]>
