10. Gentlemen, I wish to unequivocally state at this juncture that since the inception of the fight against insurgency and acts of terrorism in Northeast Nigeria, especially in Borno State, the Command has not recorded this magnitude of arrests of confessed BH Commanders and foot soldiers in one single operation. Noteworthy here is that the giant stride and proactive initiative of the present leadership of the Force as highlighted at paragraph 3.0 of this brief has brought our successes this far. We should indeed applaud this timely initiative of the Inspector-General of Police. This demonstration of foresight especially at this crucial time when the military and other security forces and by extension, the Federal Government, are visibly doing their best to bring to a final stop, acts of terror across the country.

11. The Force High Command hereby appreciates the cooperation and support of the people of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States in the ongoing fight and the successes being showcased today. The renewed commitment of the Nigeria Police Force at preventing and detecting crimes, especially insurgency and other violent crimes such as kidnapping, cattle rustling, armed robbery, suicide bomb attacks across the country remains unwavering.
