He added that all the 67 suspects arrested will be investigated accordingly and charged to court.
The police boss assured the residents of Borno that the command would continue to protect their lives and properties while urging them to cooperate with the police to enable them to carry out their responsibilities in the state.
“I want to assure you that Borno State Police Command under my leadership is committed to deploying both kinetic and
