The Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu has assured the nation that the Force is irrevocably committed to the safe rescue of all abductees in the recent attack on Government Science College, Kagara in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State and other related incidents.
In a statement by Force Public Relations Officer Force Headquarters, Abuja, CP Frank Mba, the IGP noted that a joint massive search and rescue mission involving the Police, the Military and other law enforcement agencies was ongoing to ensure that all abducted persons were rescued unhurt and reunited with their families.
Mba said the IGP had ordered the deployment of additional tactical, intelligence and investigative assets of the Force.
This, he said, included four units of Police Mobile Force (PMF) attached to Operation Puff Adder II, one Unit of Police Special Forces, personnel of the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU), operatives from the Force Intelligence Bureau and the Force Criminal Investigations Department and one Police aerial surveillance helicopter.
He said the Police component of the search and rescue operation was being coordinated by the Commissioner of Police, Niger State, who is effectively harnessing all the deployed resources and working in sync with the Military and other law enforcement agents in ensuring an intelligence-driven, focused and result-oriented ground and aerial surveillance in the rescue operations and to bring the perpetrators to book.
The Inspector General of Police, while calling for calm, has enjoined members of the community to provide the Force and the security community with useful, relevant and timely information that could assist in the ongoing search-and- rescue operations.
