Ondo State Commissioner of Police, Wilfred Afolabi, has warned criminals, particularly kidnappers to steer clear of the state as the Police and other security agencies in the state are poised not to give them breathing space.
CP Afolabi, who stated this during an interactive session organised by the state Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), tagged: “The Platform”, disclosed how series of operations were being carried out in different parts of the state and how some kidnappers were arrested while victims were rescued.
However, he listed some of the challenges of the command in carrying out their duties in terms of patrol vehicles and other logistics needed for smooth operations.
The commissioner explained that if the command is equipped with hi-tech devices including military drones, trackers and other devices for lawful interception, fighting crimes in the state would be done seamlessly.
According to him, the command needs assistance from government and other stakeholders in the state in terms of provision of patrol vans and repair of grounded vehicles for timely and effective response to distress calls. (Thisday)
