Inspector General of Police Solomon Arase pictured yesterday May 2nd at
the launch of the new Supernumerary Police Uniform in Port Harcourt,
Rivers state. Speaking at the event, IGP Arase said;
"The concept of Supernumerary Police draws from Sec. 18 of the Nigeria
Police Act which provides guidelines for their establishment and also
grants them the powers, privileges and immunities of police officers,
but as limited to area in respect of which they are appointed and in any
police area adjacent thereto, but not elsewhere. In essence, therefore,
SPY Police are engaged for specific security functions within a
restricted jurisdiction or operational space.
