He added that the officers would be sent to every corner of the state, noting that they would be responsible for clearing out criminals from Kaduna State and its surroundings during that time.
We “won’t give up on our effort to justify the confidence reposed in us in the protection of lives and properties, but we cannot achieve it alone, just as we needed public support so that together, we chase criminals out of Kaduna”
In this difficult time, routine patrols and surveillance have increased, and the statement urged law-abiding citizens to take advantage of these opportunities to clear suspected locations of criminal elements.
