The Nigerian Police Force has pledged to combat bandit attacks following the shocking abduction of six young girls in Bwari Area Council last week.
Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, in a statement, assured the public that “all hands are on deck” to secure the girls’ safe return and prevent similar incidents. He said there is need for discretion due to the operation’s sensitivity, adding that specific details remain confidential to avoid jeopardizing ongoing efforts.
The statement further read, “However, the sensitivity of the situation necessitates discretion, and as a result, specific details are being kept confidential to avoid compromising ongoing operations.
“The NPF is actively engaging and contacting individuals crucial to the rescue operations and investigation.
“The objective is not only to bring perpetrators to justice but also to intensify efforts in rescue operations for victims still in captivity.
“Furthermore, recognizing the psychological impact on affected families, the Police are encouraging open communication with their operatives to provide support, information, and assistance to mitigate the psychological warfare imposed by kidnappers on the relatives and loved ones of their victims.”
