The police on Thursday said 545 suspected kidnappers, armed robbers had been arrested, 105 assorted weapons and a large cache of ammunition recovered since January, assuring Nigerians of new strategies to take the criminals off circulation.
It was gathered that a total of 261 suspected kidnappers, 535 armed robbers, 326 murder suspects have been arrested and 361 firearms plus large cache of arms recovered since Adamu assumed duty as acting IG with some of them already charged to court. “The IGP, while commending the public for their understanding and support so far, reassures the nation that the end to violent crimes and other sundry criminal activities is in sight.
“The Chinese citizens who were earlier kidnapped on April 15, in Bobi, Niger State were safely and successfully rescued on May 5, 2019 from a forest in Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State, following painstaking investigative efforts, including both air and ground surveillance.“Between January and the first week of May, a total of 270 suspected kidnappers, 275 suspected armed robbers were arrested and 105 assorted weapons plus a large cache of ammunition recovered,” he said.
People now see it as a lucrative business and very hard to stop. It is incumbent on government to be proactive with intelligence gathering in order to stem this ugly development
