The meeting is to discuss insecurity affecting the two regions.

According to Baba, after the meeting, the commanders will go back to their zones to implement outcome of the meeting.

The I-G said the challenges would require the force to rejig its operational strategies to ensure that the issues were nip in the bud immediately.

“It is not like we do not have problems in other geopolitical zones of the country, but we have to address them one after the other.’’

He said calling a larger meeting of all Commissioners of Police and other senior officers would not be right at the moment because of COVID-19 protocols.
