One handset containing video footage of suspected kidnappers counting and sharing Ransom collected from their victims.
Meanwhile,
all the suspects freely confessed to the crime and are assisting the Police
with useful information.
It
is pertinent to emphasize here that these aforementioned successes were made
possible through information availed to the Police from well meaning members of
the public, who as partners in progress with the Nigeria Police share our
desires and aspirations to enable a safe and secure environment for all
residents in the State.
The
Command has put in place crime preventive measures which includes visibility
policing, Community Partnership, constant raids of black spots, regular foot
and vehicular patrols, surveillance on buildings and vulnerable areas, stop and
search, and intelligence led policing through partnership with sister agencies
and other non-Governmental organisations in order to provide safety and
security in the State.
Also,
incompliance with the IGPs directive, the Command has recently launched Change
Begins with Me campaign and Police Public Complaint Rapid Response unit
(PCRRU).
Today you are also going to
witness the distribution of (PCRRU) flyers and IGPs core value to stakeholders
in order to enable members of the public who have complaint against any of our
action to report directly to Police Complaint Rapid Response Unit (PCRRU) for
prompt action.
Equally,
tremendous effort are made in collaboration with all major stakeholders to get
valuable informations which after evaluation can be used as actionable
intelligence that can assist in fighting crime in the state.
The whole idea is to nip in
the bud these emergent trends of crime presently bedevilling the State due to
influx of suspected Cattle Rustlers, Kidnappers and Insurgents and other
misguided elements.
The
Command assured members of the public that despite above mentioned challenges,
it is fully committed and battle ready towards ensuring safety and security in
the State. People should feel free to come forward with any reasonable
information and be rest assured that it will be treated with outmost
confidentiality.
More
so, the command has made adequate security arrangement to ensure a hitch free
Christmas and New Year celebration.
