Necessary intelligence needed to end banditry, IC boss insists

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, has said that crime rate in the country is in decline in recent times, due to the enhancement of the institutional capacity of the police.
Specifically, he said the force had arrested 424 suspected kidnappers across the country and recovered 10,860 ammunitions of various descriptions from criminals.Adamu, during a conference with senior police officers at the Force Headquarters yesterday, said the arrests were made between May 10 and June 14, 2019.

The police boss said the highest number of arrests was made in Kaduna State with 101 kidnap suspects in the police net, followed by Katsina with 79 arrests, Nasarawa 54 and 32 in Taraba.

“While there are still isolated cases of internal security breaches, which often attract publicity and national attention, the crime rate in recent times has been on the decline.

“The foregoing is consequent upon the enhancement of the institutional capacity of the Nigerian police to respond to internal security threats and undertake intelligence-led operations. The successes are linked to Operation Puff Adder, which has been a very potent anti-crime vehicle of the police,” the IGP said.

Meanwhile, chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (IC), Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, has stressed the need for Nigeria to deploy necessary intelligence against banditry and corruption. Owasanoye stated this yesterday in Abuja during a visit of students of the basic intelligence officers Course 12/2019 of the Defence Intelligence College to the commission.

Represented by Hon. Justice Adamu Bello, the IC boss regretted that Nigeria, as a nation, had had its fair share of terrorism, banditry and lately the upsurge in kidnapping for ransom.

He urged the students to take advantage of the basic intelligence course, which would expose them to intelligence gathering and how to deploy such intelligence.

“You must note that those challenges are further aggravated by the endemic corruption that is ravaging our nation; hence you must be at the forefront of eradicating corruption, if we desire a nation free of terrorism, banditry and corruption,” he added.

By the way, if you own a good business with a good statement of you can check below my comment and me for quick loans without collateral.

IGP should stop feeding people with stupid, blatant and incoherent lies. The crime rates in Nigeria has taken off in the past few months. I guess everyday fulani killings, non-stop kidnapping, relentless bombings from boko haram sect ain't no crime? He must be high on ogbomoso weed!

All did small pikin memes una dey drop up and dan for NL Na una get the pikin?

adedayoa2:
If I hear

This Government has perfected the art of spreading Propaganda

This one is just deceiving himself there. He should enter the bus as a civilian to travel on the nigeria highway.

Really? Well I dont expect him to say contrary. If I were in his shoes, I jus have to say the same thing.

in your dumbest dreams!.... quit clowning.

He's losing weight everyday so he's working. Truly crime has reduce in Tokyo

Someone that is guided by tons of Police me. How Will he know? He's judgements daily are based on what sycophant men in Police tell him.

The revolution that will hit this country won't be a child play if and when it happens. It will rewrite the history of this country. Then, chaos will set in. Every man will weaponize himself to defend his family and interest. American soldiers Will set their foot on the soil of this country and will achieve one thing: to further drift the country apart and the word "Nigeria" is gone.

All this because of few insensitive leaders among us.

After taking Furah they will just be dropping unverified figures upandan... Especially that short one na him own dey vex me .

except Cybercrime is no longer crime

Cybercrime is the order Of the day

Armed Robbers? Are now YAHOO BOYS!
Kidnappers? Are now Yahoo boys!
Burglars? Are now Yahoo Boys?

YAHOO YAHOO is the new crime

Who are these people o
The President gives false statistics and now his IGP is delivering another.
Yet we have politicians patronizing herbalists , bathing outside etc for protections as the police escorts isn’t enough anymore

what a joke!

The IGP is very right.
Thanks to yahoo-yahoo.
In the next decade, yahoo-yahoo will be the highest employer of labour in Nigeria...that's if it hasn't achieved the feat yet.
You rarely go to a street in Southern Nigeria without a yahoo-yahoo guy living there.

If it had, betting and lotto is the distraction not policing.

Laism, strong fervor in APC crooks

Ehhhn you say what....?!
Nigerian is joke. It's obvious that the IGP doesn't know his job and doesn't know what crime is.

The statics given are for mostly northern states, what of southern states.

Lol dis country sef

Next level report

Quite revealing!
