The Nigerian police has said it cannot apprehend all criminals at once. The force Public Relationship Officer Olumuyiwa Adejobi said this while responding to a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Zagazola, which showed bandits and kidnappers posing with ransom money.
The PRO stated, “We can’t apprehend all the criminals at once. At least appreciate us for the ones we have arrested. We arrest them daily, in large numbers. The armed forces and the police are trying their best.”
Adejobi urged Nigerians to recognise the ongoing efforts of security forces in combating crime, noting that their work is a continuous process.
“Efforts of security forces should be seen, noticed, and appreciated. We must look towards collective efforts and individualistic involvement in tackling insecurity and other vices in Nigeria. One thing is sure: no criminal will go unpunished,” the statement added.
However, in an interview earlier this year, the PRO spoke on the diverse factors contributing to insecurity across various regions of the country.
Adejobi dismissed claims of a rise in kidnapping incidents, urging the public to disregard what they see on social media platforms. He highlighted the unique geographical features of different regions as critical determinants of the prevalent security challenges.
He emphasised these regional variations; kidnapping incidents are not on the rise as portrayed on social media platforms.
