“We retrained them and sent them to the field. So we were able to succeed in bringing down to a very low level of kidnapping and banditry,” the police boss disclosed.

The Police Chief also dropped his two cent on the issue of Amotekun and other security bodies. He said the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria only approves of one Police Force.

He said, “any other organisation or any other arrangements that deal with prevention of crimes, passing information, creating of intelligence is just supporting the activities of the Nigeria Police”.
