Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria tasks security operatives to re- strategise to tackle influx of criminals
The Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON) has called on the Nigeria Police and the Department of the State Security (DSS) to re- strategise on how to track the influx of the criminals.
Penpushing reports the executive secretary of the body, Dr Yemisi Bamgbose made the call in a statement pointing out that the criminals are running to the urban areas with their weapons after being chased out of their hideout by the military from where they were wreaking havoc on innocent citizens through kidnaping, abduction and cattle rustling.
‘It is obvious that many of these criminals that escaped the military onslaught from across the insurgent zones are devising new methods of perpetrating their blood thirst business by smuggling themselves back to urban areas in order to continue their nefarious activities of getting money at all cost’, Bamgbose wrote.
‘The Nigeria Police, the Department of State Security, DSS, and other related agencies have to double their efforts to keep eagle eyes on those criminal elements being flushed out by the military from their criminal enclaves’, the statement reads.
Penpushing further reports that the organization emphasized that there is the need to be on guard to forestall the resurgence of armed robberies and other related criminality that had gone down considerably.
The Broadcasting Organisations equally commended the directive of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that killers of the Arise TV staff Somtochukwu Maduagwu who was killed in her residence at Katampe area of Abuja, the Federal Capital, (FCT) be fished out and made to face the consequences of their dastard act.
‘We hope that it will not take too long a time before the Nigeria Police in conjunction with other security agencies, will unmasked the perpetrators of the robbery attack. We call on the media to continue mounting pressure on the security agencies until those behind the attack are unravelled’, Bamgbose stated.
