The Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, psc (+), NPM, fdc has commended the Katsina State Police Command for its giant strides in combating crimes and criminality in the State, particularly, rolling back the negative trend of the activities of bandits and other criminal elements in the State, rescuing kidnapped victims and reuniting them with their families and improving public confidence.

The IGP gave the commendation during a one-day official visit to Katsina State on Thursday, 2nd September, 2021, as part of efforts at carrying out on-the-spot security assessment in the State, mobilizing members of the public and other credible stakeholders against crimes, boosting the confidence of Police operatives in the Command and providing the needed leadership for onslaught against crimes and criminality.

The IGP, a crime fighter par excellence himself, noted that the operational strategies currently being implemented by the Force to stabilize security order across the country and improve public safety has begun to yield positive and significant results.

He called on parents and guardians, traditional rulers, political leaders and religious leaders and other critical stakeholders, to provide necessary leadership, counselling, mentoring and support needed to guide citizens, particularly, our youths, out of the path of crime and criminality.
