According to the deputy commander, despite all efforts to restore peace to the area, the wanted persons continued to be a clog in the wheel of progress.

“We have sustained intelligence-led operations, which led to the neutralization of some of the criminals who participated in the attacks.
“A handsome reward awaits any person or group of persons, who provides useful information leading to the arrest of any of the wanted suspects. Anyone with useful information on the whereabouts of the wanted suspects should kindly contact Operation SAFE HAVEN, the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies,” DCP Iyua added.
