The Nigeria Police Force announced on Tuesday that officers deployed nationwide have apprehended more than 2,398 suspects in recent months.
According to the report, the arrests include 259 individuals charged with armed robbery, 186 suspected kidnappers, and 1,575 others involved in a variety of crimes.
The figures reflect the police’s intensified efforts to combat criminal activities across the country.
Muyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, made this disclosure while presenting a group of newly arrested suspects detained by the Intelligence Response Team.
He highlighted the police’s ongoing commitment to maintaining law and order, noting that these arrests demonstrate the effectiveness of intelligence-led operations.
Adejobi emphasized the importance of community cooperation in ensuring the success of these security measures and vowed that the police would continue to prioritize public safety in every region of Nigeria.
These arrests serve as a testament to the proactive approach of the Nigeria Police Force in tackling crime, and Adejobi reaffirmed the police’s determination to bring more offenders to justice and restore peace to affected communities.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
