The National Economic Council has called on security agencies to ensure that persons recruited into arms-bearing agencies undergo psychiatric evaluations and drug tests before and after enlistment.
A statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, stated that the evaluations would ensure that the personnel were psychologically fit to carry weapons and identify behavioral tendencies.
The statement urged personnel of the agencies to dutifully observe the rules of engagement in the discharge of their duties.
It implored the Federal Government to give priority to the general welfare of policemen and personnel of other security agencies.
