suspected cultists. Some of the suspects confessed to having been
involved in kidnapping,
fraud, motorcycle robbery among others.
The CP noted that the rate of crime and other criminal
activities was gradually declining in the state, a success he attributed
to human capacity of the force and the quantum of logistics and
moral support given to the Command by the State government. He disclosed
to newsmen that the police were able to achieve these within two weeks,
between 7 January to 21 January, 2016.
