The Police High Command has said it was mapping out an effective strategy to defeat armed banditry, kidnappings, cattle rustling and all forms of criminality in parts of the country.
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr Mohammed Adamu, stated this, on Thursday, when he visited the Joint Task Force of police and members of Special Constabulary Vigilante at Gidan Kasanga, in Mashegu Local Government Area of Niger State.
Represented by Commissioner of Police Niger State Command, Mr Adamu Usman, the IGP explained that the fight against crimes must be fought and won at all costs.
IGP Mohammed Adamu stressed the need for members of the public to supply the Police Operatives and other Sister Agencies, with credible intelligence that would assist security personnel in carrying out their mandates.
He said the Police cannot do it alone while calling for the need for collective efforts by all and sundry to rid Nigeria of criminal elements.
