The Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, has ordered the immediate deployment of additional personnel and air support to communities in Nigeria that have been targeted by bandit attacks.
The directive aims to reinforce security efforts in areas where criminal groups have recently intensified their operations, posing a direct threat to local residents and infrastructure.
By authorizing the use of air support alongside ground troops, the Police Command seeks to enhance its operational reach and response capabilities in these volatile regions.
This move underscores the federal government’s ongoing efforts to combat insecurity and restore stability to communities that have suffered from persistent banditry.
