…enjoins citizens to cooperate with security agencies

MOHAMED Adamu, inspector general of police, has directed the commissioner of police, CP, Kaduna State Police Command, to ensure full enforcement of the curfew imposed by the Kaduna State government. The curfew is part of the efforts at restoring law and order in parts of Southern Kaduna affected by recent violence and other security challenges which has claimed many lives.

The commissioner of police, CP,  has also been advised to ensure optimal deployment of both human and material assets of the Intervention Squad currently on ground in the State to safeguard lives and property of people in the communities.

“The CP is to personally coordinate the operations of the Intervention Squad in carrying out collective and holistic tasks of ensuring peace and safety in the communities. The Squad comprises: the Police Mobile Force (PMF), Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU), Police Special Forces, Detectives/Intelligence Operatives as well as personnel of the Kaduna State Police Command, the Military and other security agencies,” a statement by Frank Mba, Force public relations officer which was made available to Realnews on Monday, July 27, said.

The IGP commiserated with the people of Kaduna State, particularly those who have lost their loved ones and property as a result of the crises. He assures that the Force will do everything within its powers and means to ensure that peace is restored in the affected areas.

Meanwhile, the IGP has enjoined the people of Kaduna State to cooperate with the police, the military and other law enforcement agencies as they carry out the full enforcement of the curfew amongst other measures directed at ensuring their safety. He, however, warns troublemakers in the State to desist forthwith from acts of violence and lawlessness.
