Asked for any update regarding the kidnap of the traditional ruler, the naval chief said “serious efforts are being made. Key suspects have been arrested and it is hoped that in a short while, those behind the heinous crime will be brought to book.”Mr Ibas also said the security chiefs took advantage of the meeting to “appraise Mr President of the security situation generally after his short vacation abroad.
On the rising spate of kidnappings across the country, the navy chief said the acting Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, had been directed to tackle the menace.“With the set up of the operations, there has been a remarkable drop in the number of kidnappings. What normally would attract attention is when a key person in government perhaps is kidnapped.
