The Nigeria police, on Tuesday, raised the alarm over the high
rate of child trafficking and kidnap cases in the South East zone.
The Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG, in charge of Zone 9,
Umuahia, Mr. Mohammad Yabo, who made the observation in Awka, Anambra
State said the police had resorted to combining prayers with arms in the
fight against the two crimes.
The AIG was speaking during his visit to the Anambra State police command.
He noted that there was need for the police in the South East zone to
be up and doing in the discharge of their functions, instead of
flouting the orders of the Inspector General of Police, IG, on the
mounting of road blocks.
“Stopping people and collecting money from them has very serious
consequences, but that does not mean that you should not carry out stop
and search.
“You should stop being friends of criminals and Indian hemp smokers
and you should be careful how you handle your rifles as there is nothing
like accidental discharge in the force.
“Corruption and extortion have become the bane of the police force
and that is why the zone has established monitoring units to expose the
bad eggs in the force”, he revealed.
Earlier, while briefing the AIG on the state of Anambra State Police
Command, the Commissioner of police in the state, Mr. Bala Nasarawa,
said 228 kidnap and robbery suspects were arrested in the state in the
last six months.
