INTERNAL SECURITY: POLICE RESCUE KIDNAPPED VICTIMS, ARREST SUSPECTS FOR KIDNAPPING, ROBBERY, RECOVERS FIREARMS AND AMMUNITIONS

As IGP Assures Intensive Security During Festive Period.

In the never-ending efforts to strengthen the internal security of our country, the Nigeria Police Force has recently recorded several milestone achievements in the fight against various types of heinous crimes. These notable achievements include the rescue of 20 victims in 2 significant kidnapping attempts in Katsina State. At about 7 PM on the 7th of December 2024, police operatives of the Katsina State Command intercepted a group of armed bandits along the Katsina-Magamar Jibia road, who had opened fire on a moving vehicle conveying 10 occupants, in an attempt to kidnap the occupants. The police operatives engaged the armed bandits in a gun duel and successfully overpowered them, forcing the bandits to flee the scene with varying degrees of gunshot injuries, and securing the rescue of all 10 occupants unhurt. On the same date, at about 8:30 PM, the police operatives attached to the Katsina State Command got information of an ambush of a vehicle conveying 10 passengers along the Funtua-Gusau road by suspected bandits and quickly mobilized to the scene where they engaged the bandits in a fierce gun duel, overpowering them and rescuing the 10 abducted victims.

Similarly, on the 4th of December 2024, police operatives attached to the Akwa-Ibom State Command successfully rescued a young lady who had been earlier abducted by one Abraham Patrick Francis ‘m’ with the intention of selling off the abductee into forced prostitution in a neighbouring country. The suspect has since been arrested, and the victim reunited with her family. The police operatives of the Akwa-Ibom State Command also raided a kidnappers’ den within the Amayam and Ikot Ukpong Villages on the 5th of December 2024, and successfully rescued 2 kidnapped victims unhurt, recovered 1 locally fabricated double barrel gun, 1 locally made pistol, 5 live cartridges, and neutralized 2 suspected kidnappers in a heated gun duel.

In the same vein, on the 4th of December 2024, the Police operatives attached to the Rivers State Command followed up on a report of a kidnapped 10-year-old boy identified as Emmanuel John. Investigation and decisive actions led to the arrest of one Nwile Bete ‘m’ who upon consequent interrogation, confessed to the crime and led the operatives to where the victim was being kept. The victim was rescued unhurt and reunited with his family, while the suspect remains in police custody as investigation continues.

Also, in Taraba State Command, on the 6th of December 2024, at about 2:30 PM, operatives of the Nigeria Police Force intercepted a gang of suspected kidnappers at Dutsen Mubayu and engaged the gang in a fierce gun duel. Overpowering the gang, the police operatives successfully rescued 3 kidnapped victims and recovered several exhibits including 3 AK-47 rifles, 5 Magazines and 75 rounds of live ammunition. On the same date, at about 3 PM, the police operatives attached to the Taraba State Command arrested a notorious kidnapping kingpin identified as Idris Alhaji Jaoji ‘m’, who is suspected to be connected to several kidnappings along the Jalingo-Lau-Karim Lamido Axis of the State. The operatives also arrested one Jibo Alhaji Mai ‘m’ who served as an informant to several gangs of kidnappers.

Relentlessly, the Nigeria Police Force has also cracked down on a notorious armed robbery syndicate connected to several robberies along the Makurdi-Lafia Highway. This breakthrough came after the police operatives attached to the Zone 4 Police Command successfully arrested one of the syndicate members identified as Terhemba Dabo ‘m’ around the Makurdi International Market. The suspect upon his arrest, led the operatives to their den where the operatives arrested other members of the syndicate including Kwaghve Asemapav ‘m’, Aondonenga Awarga ‘m’, Nongun Mbakuugh ‘m’, Nomsoor Raphael ‘m’, Kpaver Godwin ‘m’, Joseph Jimeshio ‘m’, and Desen Kaashima ‘m’, and also recovered 1 G-3 rifle, 3 pairs of military camouflage, 1 body armour jacket, 1 set of police uniform, a pair of black boots, 5 sim cards, 1 carved wooden rifle, 1 live ammo, and 2 travelling bags.

Amidst these remarkable achievements, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM., commends these gallant operatives of the Nigeria Police Force and urges them to further intensify their good efforts in this festive season. The IGP further assures the good citizens of Nigeria of intensive security measures during this period to ensure efficient safety and protection of lives and properties.

The mother of the crown prince, in collaboration with Agidigbo 88.7 FM, Ibadan, owned by Oriyomi Hazmat, had organized an event to feed the less privileged. Unfortunately, the event led to the death of over 32 children which was caused by a stampede.

The Governor, while sympathizing with the families of victims, noted that efforts had been made to stop further deaths and support victims.

We also learned that the former Queen reportedly collapsed and was rushed to the hospital shortly after her arrest by the police.

PRESS RELEASE

IGP WARNS AGAINST UNORGANIZED DISTRIBUTION OF PALLIATIVES, FUNFAIRS.

As 2 Other Incidences Hit FCT, Anambra.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM., has raised serious concerns about the unorganized distribution of palliatives and relief items in the country during this festive period. This trend is worrisome and calls for urgent concerns to save the lives of citizens of this country, especially the vulnerable youths and the elderly.

This warning follows a series of tragic incidents that highlight the urgent need for a more structured and effective approach to delivering aid to vulnerable communities and members of the public in general. It would be recalled that on the 18th of December 2024, a tragic incident had occurred in Ibadan, Oyo State, where a stampede at a children’s fun fair resulted in the deaths of at least 35 children and left many others critically injured.

In the early hours of today, the 21st of December 2024, another tragedy struck at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Maitama, in a similar stampede that occurred during the distribution of food items to vulnerable and elderly individuals. This unfortunate incident led to the death of 10 individuals, leaving many others injured.

A similar incident also occurred at Okija, Ihiala Local Government, Anambra State at a palliative distribution set up by a philanthropist identified as Obi Jackson, which led to the death of several individuals. At the moment, 3 persons have been confirmed dead while many injured have been taken to various hospitals for adequate treatment.

The IGP emphasized the dangers posed to public safety during these unorganized distributions and funfairs set up by groups, individuals and NGOs, including the potential for stampedes and other incidents that could endanger lives. The lack of a well-defined plan for distributing palliatives has resulted in chaos, leading to long lines and unnecessary confrontations among citizens seeking assistance.

In light of these developments, the IGP has called on government officials, community leaders, and non-governmental organizations to work collaboratively towards establishing a comprehensive and organized framework for distributing palliatives. The IGP has hereby warned groups and organizers of similar events to ensure the involvement of security agencies as negligence on their part is criminal and would not be overlooked, as provided for in Sec. 196 of the Penal Code and Sec. 344 of the Criminal Code, Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In addition, the IGP has encouraged the general public who would want to benefit from such distributions to tread with caution, prioritizing their safety, to avoid unforeseen calamities.

The Nigeria Police Force reiterates its commitment to supporting efforts aimed at creating a safer and more structured environment for aid distribution in our communities. Collaborating with relevant stakeholders, the Force aims to prevent future tragedies and ensure such processes are seamless.

The IGP has ordered the Commissioners of the affected states to carry out thorough investigations into these ugly incidences for further legal actions. The Inspector-General of Police therefore sympathizes with the bereaved families and wishes those injured quick recovery.
