Security officials in Nigeria have disclosed that a committee led by Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu examined policing frameworks in India, the United States, and Pakistan to inform the development of the country’s state police structure. The findings were shared during a recent meeting, highlighting an effort to modernize and enhance law enforcement capabilities across Nigeria’s states (punchng.com).
The study aimed to identify best practices and innovative strategies from these countries, with a focus on improving efficiency, accountability, and public safety. While no specific details were provided on how Pakistan’s model influenced the Nigerian framework, the inclusion of the South Asian nation suggests a growing interest in cross-border police reform initiatives.
Meanwhile, in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, security forces carried out two intelligence-based operations, resulting in the deaths of 12 militants. The military’s media wing attributed the strikes to the ongoing ‘Radul Fitna’ counterterrorism campaign, targeting groups linked to the so-called “Fitna-al-Hindustan” (dawn.com).
Separately, Pakistan is set to face India in the Women’s Asia Cup 2026, scheduled for September 5 in Dubai. The tournament, which runs from August 28 to September 13, marks a significant event in women’s cricket across the region (samaa.tv).
