…develops national WMD/CBRN curriculum for continuous training

By Nkechi Eze

In a proactive response to the increasing threats posed by Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), including Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) threats, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM., has collaborated with the United States Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), to develop a comprehensive National Curriculum for its Explosive Ordnance Disposal – Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (EOD-CBRN) Formation. 

ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi in a signed statement disclosed that the curriculum will encompass critical areas such as detection, investigation, interdiction, and the neutralization of these threats, equipping Police Operatives with essential knowledge and skills related to CBRN/WMD threats, thereby improving their detection and response capabilities to potential incidents. As part of the broader vision for capacity building within the Force, this training program will not only enhance the skills of current officers but will also be integrated into the recruitment training and overall curriculum at training institutions of the Nigeria Police Force. 

The IGP has therefore charged the immediate past Commissioner of Police, EOD-CBRN, CP Patrick Atayero, who has now taken on the role of Commandant of the Nigeria Police Academy, to ensure the implementation of this curriculum. This strategic approach ensures that recruits are well-versed in the complexities of CBRN/WMD threats from the outset of their careers, fostering a generation of officers equipped to handle these challenges effectively. The IGP remains dedicated to building a robust and capable Police Force that can effectively address the evolving security landscape. Through this partnership with the DTRA and the integration of CBRN/WMD training into the Police training curriculum, the Force is taking significant strides towards ensuring the safety and security of all Nigerians.
