Protocol,

I welcome you all to the premiere of the First Nigeria

Police Television Series – “Beyond Your Sight”.The first

of its kind in the annals of Nigeria Police history. This is a

concept of, the Inspector-General of Police,IGP

Solomon Arase NPM, fdcto further his policing vision

which is woven around the public and connected in the

most sociable manner with a broad spectrum of Nigerians.

Beyond your sight is not just a movie, it is a creation

that portrays the intelligence, investigative and

prosecutorial expertise of the Nigeria Police Force. It is a

work that documents the professional competency of the

Nigeria Police Force in carrying out its constitutional

functions, inspite of its institutional challenges.

The objective of this television series is not only to

showcase the achievement of the Nigeria Police Force but

also a confidence building technique that will encourage

Nigerians to have faith in their own Police Force and it is

also to educate the policemen and women on how to

better relate and partner with the police, hence projecting

that popular parlance “Police is Your Friend and Partner”.

I am pleased to inform you that the setup of the

Nigeria Police Force under the leadership of IGP Solomon

Arase has effectively given the member of the Force an

edge over the criminal element in our society.

It will be recalled that when IGP Solomon Arase came

on board as the Inspector-General of Police, he made it

known that he would give the country an evolution of a

new order in policing the country, here, Beyond your

sighthighlights that evolution. It must be known however,

that while the Force intends to use this movie as a channel

to educate, sensitize and enlighten the public of the need

for safety and security, it is expected that Nigerians and

indeed all stakeholders of our internal security will support

this idea in its processes of rebranding the Nigeria Police

to meet its constitutional obligations.

I remembered that day in May 2015, when the IGP

called me to his office and said Bisi go and make this

work, I want to inform the IGP today that his leadership is

“sine qua non” of the success of the TV series. Thirteen

episodes of the Police TV series make up the quarterly

production have already been produced. The series are

produced and directed by multiple awards winning movies

producer, Lancelot OduaImasuen and it featured

prominent Nollywood actors such as Desmond Elliot and

Segun Arinze, among others.  I am, therefore, thanking

the Inspector-General of Police and his Management

team.

Please let me inform you that the TV series is public

driving, the sustainability depends on you all

ourstakeholdersandpartners in progress, aftertodays

premiere we intend to commence broadcast on different

Television Stations across the nation, at this stage I will

solicit for your kind support and sponsorship to keep this

educating and sensitizing project alive.To you, members

of the 4 th Estate of the realm, my very first partners in

progress, I pray for your continuous support and

contributions in situating the Nigeria Police Force in the

hearts of Nigerians will increase with your publicity of this

achievements.

Thank you all and God bless.
