Kidnapping, banditry, cultism dropping – IGP
The Inspector General of Police, , Mohammed Adamu, on Thursday declared that the crime rate in the country has dropped drastically in comparison with two quarters ago.He said that President Muhammadu Buhari urged the security agencies to keep up the good work towards achieving a near-zero crime rate in the country.
He said that the use of kinetic action sometimes does not solve a problem rather negotiation and dialogue bring peace. “And having noticed that, we have been charged by Mr. President to do more. He wants to see a near-zero crime society in the whole of the country. So we have been charged to do more than what we are doing now in fact, in the whole of the country.
On what was done differently to improve security situation in the present quarter, he said “What we have done apart from the peace initiative and the dialogues that we came up with through organization of security summit. If you remember we went to the Northwestern zone of this country, we sat down with the traditional rulers and all the governors and the leadership of Miyetti Allah and they identified some of the challenges that are fuelling kidnapping and banditry.
“So, I think part of strategy to deal with challenges in terms of either security or war, there is peaceful negotiation too. So it is not that you are a bandit and on the course of the banditry you committed crime you must be punished when there is peace initiative going on. If you refused to accept the peace initiative of course you have to face the consequences.” he said
