The Inspector-General of Police (IG), Mr Solomon Arase, has approved the deployment of a helicopter and more policemen to Kogi to checkmate the increasing rate of kidnapping and armed robbery in the state.

The Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, while addressing newly deployed policemen in Lokoja on Tuesday, said the helicopter was for aerial surveillance.

Among the deployed policemen are members of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad and four detachments of mobile policemen and trackers.

He said the police had been provided sophisticated security equipment and that the helicopter had since commenced aerial surveillance of suspected criminal hideouts in the state.

Bello said that it was hoped that the incidence of kidnapping, armed robbery and other violent crimes in parts of the state would soon be history.

He thanked President Muhammadu Buhari and the IG for their intervention in the situation in the state.

The governor said that kidnappers and other criminals would not be allowed to operate in the state as the security agencies had been directed to go after criminals and smoke them out from their hideouts.
