“The IRT operatives equally arrested a notorious arms dealers and two kidnap suspects in Kaduna, leading to the release of two kidnapped victims in their custody, just to mention a few.

”The Inspector-General of Police has, therefore, tasked operatives to embrace holistic, effective intelligence gathering, which aids the prevention of crime and criminal activities within the society.

“All suspects in connection with the above mentioned cases will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations while other suspects arrested across the country are being prosecuted at various courts of competent jurisdictions in the country,”
he said.

The IGP disclosed that his administration would not relent in fighting crimes, criminality, and general state of insecurity to a standstill in Nigeria.“He commended Oyo State police command, and the Force Intelligence Bureau Intelligence Response Squad (FIB-IRT) for their recent successes in crime fighting, achieved through deployment of technologically advanced assets, community-based, as well as traditional policing methods, and improved police visibility.
