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 was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
