YULETIDE: IGP DIRECTS STRATEGIC DEPLOYMENT TO CURB TRAFFIC, HIGHWAY ROBBERY, OTHER CRIMES

As Police Busts Armed Robbery Gang in Lagos, Anambra, Recover Arms.

As we approach the yuletide festivities, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun., Ph.D., NPM., has assured the good citizens of Nigeria of the emplacement of intensive security measures to ensure the safety and protection of lives and property, National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP can report. To this effect, the IGP has directed the immediate deployment of adequate personnel to strategic locations, key areas and identified hotspots across all states, an initiative aimed at curbing traffic, highway robberies, and other criminal activities during this period of increased-mobility, public gatherings and celebrations.

The IGP's directive includes the mobilization of police officers to highways, major roads, urban centres, and recreational centres nationwide. Officers will be strategically positioned to deter crimes via increased police presence and visibility on major highways and roads prone to criminal activities, particularly highway robberies, which tend to spike during festive seasons.

In line with the IGP's commitment to ensuring public safety, the Nigeria Police Force has already made significant headway in combating these crimes. On the 10th of December 2024, police operatives attached to the Lagos State Command arrested 4 suspected robbers identified as Akeem Alabi ‘m’, Adewale Sogbesan ‘m’, Emmanuel Izeagbe ‘m’, and Francis Okoko ‘m’. The suspects, upon their arrest, confessed to being members of a robbery syndicate operating around the Costain axis in the State.

Similarly, on the 6th of December 2024, police operatives of the Anambra State Command trailed and arrested a suspected armed robber identified as Miracle Mwakaloi ‘m’ at Awka. Upon his arrest and subsequent interrogation, the suspect led the operatives to his apartment, where during a search, 3 Ak-47 rifles were recovered.

The Nigeria Police Force stands firm in its commitment to providing a safe environment during and beyond the Yuletide season. With ongoing proactive measures, including enhanced patrols, community engagement, and a specific focus on public safety, the Force is dedicated to ensuring that the festive season is celebrated without the shadow of crimes. While urging citizens to cooperate with heightened police presence which promises to be professional and law-abiding, the IGP further encourages citizens to remain vigilant and report all suspicious activities to the Police and other law enforcement agencies.

The only thing the Nigerian government do is just to fight crime. When they indirectly create criminals, no jobs, and no future for the youth, health care is nothing to write home about, Nigeria is just a crazy place.

Goziesam:
Thousands of youth are pouring out of the universities yet no job opening meanwhile companies are laying off it's already staff. What's the way forward in this country?

Their own don finish for prison

AcadaWriter0:
The only focus of the Nigerian government seems to be on fighting crime. However, by not providing jobs and opportunities for the youth, and with inadequate healthcare, the situation in Nigeria is quite challenging.

Omoawoke:
Mr Adewale and Mr Alabi, how can you allow those other gang members from the east influence you to become arm robber in your own region?

You two should be stoned to death for betrayal

Zico5:
Our brothers from the East will say, it's mistaken identity. That those guys are not robbers even when they are caught red-handed. No place for robbers or criminals in South west. Kill them at sight.

obinna58:
They keep fighting what they create, there’s no hope for average Nigerian, the economy is biting the hardest

They are responsible for 99% of the crimes in their domain and 75% of the crimes everywhere else
