Nigeria Police has begun the process of migrating from total dependence on lethal weapons as first line of operations, to the use of less lethal weapons such as Taser or Stun guns.
Adamu, who said police authorities were concerned about issues of misuse of firearms and sundry abuses of power, added that under the new policy, personnel on low risk policing duties such as routine patrols, arrest duties and civil disorder management would be armed with Taser or Stun guns as a strategic approach to reduce incidence of fatality associated with misapplication of lethal weapons by the police when faced with low-level threats.
Governor Gboyega Oyetola, represented at the event by Secretary to the State Government Prince Wole Oyebamiji, pledged continued support for the police.
