The IGP made this call at the Force Headquarters on Tuesday while reflecting on and appraising the effectiveness of the well-coordinated operations placed for the rescue of the 20 (twenty) medical students who were kidnapped in Benue State on the 15th of August 2024, and other 7 (seven) Nigerians who had been in the captivity of the heinous criminals.

The IGP acknowledges the NSA’s dedication to lending helping hand to security forces in fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities of safeguarding the lives and property of Nigerian citizens, as well as upholding law and order throughout the nation.

In the same vein, the Inspector-General of Police extends sincere gratitude to the officers affiliated with the office of the National Security Adviser, the military, and other security personnel, as well as the local community members who actively participated in the rescue operation, along with numerous similar efforts throughout the nation. Their contributions are praiseworthy and play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of Nigeria and its citizens.

The Inspector General of Police reaffirms the dedication of the Police, under his leadership, to assiduously emplace a Police Force that is professionally competent, rule-of-law compliant, service-driven, and people-friendly.
