A total of 150 suspects have been arrested in connection with terrorism, kidnapping, and armed robbery in Imo State.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Rabiu Hussaini, made this known while briefing the state governor, Hope Uzodimma, who visited the Police Command Headquarters in Owerri on Friday.
According to him, the suspects were arrested within a period of one year – between January 2021 and January 2022.
Giving a breakdown of the figure, Hussaini explained that 105 of those apprehended were suspected kidnappers and the remaining 45 were suspected terrorists.
Admitting that he met a series of security challenges on his assumption of office in August last year, he thanked the governor for his support which he said led to the vigorous and aggressive attacks on the terror groups and the decimation of their camps.
He further revealed that the police were collaborating with traditional rulers, youths, religious leaders, among other stakeholders on community policing.
