Former Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, has alluded to the fact that hundreds of additional policemen will be needed to implement and sustain the new eight-hour shift work ordered by acting Inspector-General of Police, Muhammed Adamu. 

According to the ex-police chief, the new shift work arrangement  might need additional manpower to succeed. 

He opined that about 300,000 officers might have to be recruited for the eight-hour shift.

The acting IGP had recently attributed the misuse of firearms and extrajudicial killings by Police to work-related stress and emotional conditions.
