The police high command, on Wednesday, sought the support of Media Trust Group, publishers of Daily Trust Newspapers and Aminiya, owners of Trust TV and Trust Radio, in its bid to tackle the country’s security challenge.

The Force appealed to the media not to create fears among residents with their reportage, while also soliciting Nigerians’ support to report suspicious movement to police officers.

Benjamin Hundeyin, the Force spokesman, who stated this at the corporate headquarters of Media Trust Group, Abuja, during a courtesy visit, said efforts are being made to ensure that every part of the country is safe.

“The IGP conveyed his sincere greetings to the management of Media Trust Group. He also said I should appeal that we should not create fears in the minds of Nigerians through our news reports, though Daily Trust has not been found wanting before,” Hundeyin, a Chief Superintendent of Police, said.

 

On his part, the Group Chief Executive Officer of the organisation, Malam Ahmed Shekarau, lauded the appointment of Hundeyin as the Force Public Relations Officer.

 

Shekarau, who was represented by the Deputy Editorial Director, Hamza Idris, said the appointment of Hundeyin was well deserved.

 

He, however, appealed to the police spokesman to ensure that his doors are opened for the free flow of information, which Nigerians would like to know.
