STORY:
Mogadishu, August 15, 2016 - Seventeen Nigerian police officers
recently deployed to serve on the African Union Mission in Somalia
(AMISOM) yesterday began an intensive seven-day induction course
to orient them with the functions of the Mission.
The police officers recently arrived in Somalia to replace their
colleagues who rotated out in July. The induction course was
officially opened by AMISOM Deputy Police Commissioner, Christine
Alalo, who urged the officers to work hard in their duties and
maintain high level of discipline to enable the Mission achieve its
mandate.
Even if you are very hard working but lack discipline then you will
be considered as having failed in your duties. We expect maximum
discipline and maximum respect for human rights, Ms Alalo told the
officers.
Present at the function were the AMISOM Police Chief of Staff, Rex
Dundun, and the AMISOM Police Coordinator for Training and
Development, Francis Aryee. Ms Alalo noted that the arrival of the
new contingent is timely, given the fact that Somalias approved
policing model is similar to that of Nigeria.
They (Nigerian police officers) have come at the right time when
the Government of Somalia has agreed to have the federal and
state police system. Their presence is very important because they
will be able to help the Somali Government operationalize the
federal and state police system, Ms Alalo observed.
Nigeria is one of the Police Contributing Countries to AMISOM. The
country first deployed police officers in Somalia in 2010. Individual
Police Officers help mentor the Somali Police Force (SPF) by
collocating at various police stations. The move is part of the
mandate of AMISOM to build capacity of the Somali Police Force
(SPF).
