As part of efforts at restoring law and order in parts of Southern Kaduna affected by recent violence and other security challenges, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu, Monday, directed the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, to ensure full enforcement of the curfew imposed by the state government.

A release issued by Mr. Frank Mba, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, also the Force Public Relations Officer, FPRO, said the IGP also directed the Commissioner of Police to ensure optimal deployment of both human and material assets of the Intervention squad currently on ground in the state to safeguard lives and property of people in the communities.

“The CP,” Mba added, “is to personally coordinate the operations of the Intervention Squad in carrying out collective and holistic tasks of ensuring peace and safety in the communities. The Squad comprises: the Police Mobile Force (PMF), Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU), Police Special Forces, Detectives/Intelligence Operatives as well as personnel of the Kaduna State Police Command, the Military and other security agencies.”

IGP Adamu also commiserated with the people of Kaduna State, particularly those who have lost their loved ones and property as a result of the crises. He assured that the Force would do everything within its powers to ensure that peace is restored in the affected areas.

The IGP also enjoined the people of Kaduna State to cooperate with the Police, the Military and other law enforcement agencies as they carry out the full enforcement of the curfew among other measures directed at ensuring their safety. He, however, warned troublemakers in the state to desist forthwith from acts of violence and lawlessness.
