The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has assured Niger State residents and families of the people abducted in Borgu Local Government Area that the police are working with other security agencies to secure their safe release.
Mr Disu gave the assurance during his visit to Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago at the Government House in Minna on Saturday.
The IGP said security agencies were making progress in the rescue operation, adding that the police had intensified intelligence gathering, operational coordination and meetings with other agencies to achieve the safe return of the victims.
He also commended Governor Bago for his cooperation and continued support for the Niger State Police Command.
The visit comes amid renewed security concerns in Borgu, where suspected terrorists attacked several communities, including Dekara, Gidan-Zana and Kpenya, on 21 August.
