The Inspector General of Police, IGP, Usman Baba has on Monday, commissioned the Police Intelligence and Surveillance Centre built by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike administration to provide technical support to the police and other security agencies in the state. The IGP, who hailed the governor for making the job of the police easy in the oil-rich South-South through the provision of key infrastructure, appealed to other state governments to provide similar facilities to make policing easier. Baba arrived in the state to a full complement of salute by the Force’s Guard of Honor at the venue of the inauguration in Port Harcourt, the state capital, in the company of the governor.
