The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu has directed the deployment of additional tactical and intelligence assets to strengthen ongoing operations in the area and adjoining forests.
TheHintsNews reports that terrorists last Friday attacked and abducted school children and their teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of the State.
Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Anthony Placid in a statement issued Sunday said the IG condemned the attack as cruel and unacceptable, reiterating that no effort would be spared in restoring normalcy to the affected communities
He revealed that Disu was accompanied on the visit by the Commissioner of Police, Kwara State Command, CP Ojo Adekimi, owing to the strategic proximity of the Oriire axis to communities bordering Kwara State, as well as the Commissioner of Police, Schools Protection Squad, CP Abayomi Shogunle, in furtherance of ongoing efforts to strengthen school safety and coordinate effective response measures.
Placid noted that during the visit, Disu met with the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, CP Abimbola Olugbenga, alongside other security stakeholders, where he received operational briefings on ongoing rescue efforts and security deployments across the affected communities.
He noted that the IG assured residents, parents, and guardians that the Nigeria Police Force, in collaboration with other security agencies, has intensified coordinated search-and-rescue operations, intelligence gathering, and tactical deployments aimed at securing the safe return of all abducted victims and bringing the perpetrators to justice.
