The Nigerian Police Force (NPF) is collaborating with the United States Defence Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to develop a comprehensive national curriculum for their Explosive Ordnance Disposal – Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (EOD-CBRN) formation.
The curriculum will encompass critical areas such as detection, investigation, interdiction, and the neutralisation of these threats, equipping operatives with essential knowledge and skills related to CBRN/WMD threats, thereby improving their detection and response capabilities to potential incidents.
A statement by the Force Spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, said that this move is a proactive response to the increasing threats posed by Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), including Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) threats.
