By Odita Sunday
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has charged trainers and instructors of the Police Mobile Force (PMF) to prioritise continuous learning, tactical competence and operational readiness as the security environment continues to evolve.
Disu gave the charge on Friday, August 28, 2026, while formally opening a Training Course for Trainers and Instructors of the Police Mobile Force at the PMF Training College, Ende-Hills, Nasarawa State.
The training, which brought together selected PMF trainers and instructors from across the country, is aimed at strengthening instructional capacity, sharpening tactical competence and enhancing the operational readiness of the Force’s 84 PMF Squadrons.
Addressing the participants, the IGP described the programme as a strategic intervention in the operational future of the PMF, stressing that the changing security environment demands continuous learning, adaptation, discipline and tactical competence.
He charged the trainers to serve as force multipliers by ensuring that knowledge acquired during the course is effectively transferred to personnel in their respective formations.
Disu further emphasised that the modern PMF must combine tactical capability with intelligence, precision, discipline, professionalism and respect for the law.
He urged the participants to make operational readiness a continuous culture, rather than focusing solely on obtaining certificates, stressing that the ultimate objective of the training should be the development of competence capable of translating into improved operational performance.
The ceremony was attended by DIG Umar Shehu Nadada, DIG Operations; AIG Alonyenu Idu, AIG in charge of the Police Mobile Force; DCP Sunday Audu Peter, Commandant, PMF Training College, Ende-Hills; Commandant Brah Samson Umoru, Nasarawa State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps; and Commandants of other PMF Training Colleges.
The Executive Governor of Nasarawa State, Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule, who was briefly present at the ceremony, congratulated the IGP on his leadership and ongoing efforts towards strengthening the Nigeria Police Force.
Also speaking, AIG Alonyenu Idu commended the IGP’s leadership and commitment to repositioning the PMF, noting that the training had further charged personnel to uphold the glory and operational reputation of the Force’s tactical strike arm.
The event featured tactical displays and practical demonstrations by personnel undergoing the training, showcasing their skills, discipline and operational capabilities.
The Nigeria Police Force reaffirmed its commitment to continuous professional training, modernisation, welfare and the provision of necessary tools and platforms to strengthen operational effectiveness and ensure that the Police Mobile Force remains a disciplined, agile and dependable tactical capability in protecting lives and property across the country.
