Aliyu who attributed the achievement recorded to interagency collaboration and information sharing, however, warned criminals to leave the state as he declared that there would be no hiding place for them under his Command.

He said, “During our last meeting, I told you that we are making conscious efforts to put in place policing strategies that we require to effectively police the state, in view of maintaining public security. It will interest you to know that these strategies have resulted in successes.

“Today, the Command has successfully arrested a total of 38 male and two female suspects for their involvement in the offences of conspiracy, armed robbery, child stealing, unlawful possession of firearms and cultism.

“This was as a result of sustained synergy with sister security agencies, the neighbourhood watch group, security stakeholders and law-abiding citizens of the state.”

Items recovered according to the Commissioner include 11 firearms, five expended ammunition (.9mm and .22mm calibre), four live cartridges, one expended cartridge, two empty magazines, 12 vehicles, three tricycles, one motorcycle, one military camouflage jacket.

Suspected for owning a phone/laptop or car?

500 litres of chilled burukutu for the Real NPF/police
Nice job, Keep it up
Now the society is a little bit safer and we won't have to get robbed with these types of guns

Police are always arresting and reshuffling them..

For all I care, the police are another gang of suspects too.


They steal in broad daylight.

.
BTW, why are those people sitting near Aproko covering their faces?

Many of them might be innocent

nyamuri human beings

Nnamdi Kanu should help secure their release so that they can join ESN and protect Beerfra.

Let's hear what Mr President will say on this...

...

Let it be known to you this day that Nigeria is not getting better anytime soon...


The mistake that put us here started with selfishness and grew into this whole complicated shit.


Crime will continue to grow as long as poverty grows, the government has done a good job with keeping us in poverty and hunger so we can spend more time thinking about how to see food for each day than thinking about how to bring down corrupt government.


This country doesn't need everybody to come together for a change, it only needs the right people to act and if we don't find those people forget about it. Your children will inherit this trash from you

Please let it be that they were truly criminals and not by looks/ assumptions

Odiegwu! Una don go Ugwuaji and Garikki pack innocent boys come here

Biafuro nonentities

I strongly believe that many are innocent, but our Police is another thing.

One funny thing about NIGERIAN police is that they know where to get the real CRIMINALS but won't try such but will be flexing muscles when they see innocent citizens.

Crime dose not pay. It may take your life untimly.

When a country is not good, crime will increase...
And some good countries don't have more criminal again, that they close down some prisons

The country is messed up already!... well, hope dey get justice

Click

Hope they are not IPOB or ESN guys.

and non of them wear facemask. I think police should include absent of wearing mask as well

The crimes committed by these criminals would have been attributed to herdsmen by their kinsmen.
