The Commissioner of Police of the Niger State Command, Adamu Elleman, has requested the deployment of more personnel to wipe out insurgency from the state.
Elleman made the request on Saturday while welcoming the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Tunji Disu, to the state over the abduction of many residents, including worshippers and farmers, penultimate Friday.
“We thank our boss, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Tunji Disu, for this visit to Niger State to boost the morale of officers and men of the command over this abduction. We ask for additional manpower, armoured personnel carriers and the deployment of modern tools to enhance our operations,” Elleman said.
The CP disclosed that despite the challenges confronting them, including difficult terrain and the state’s large landmass, they had been able to arrest some bandits and their collaborators, dismantle armed robbery gangs, arrest people in possession of illegal arms, recover some stolen livestock and nip cases of criminal activities in parts of the state in the bud.
