The DIG urged the personnel to be professional in discharging their constitutional responsibilities, stressing that “you are here to protect lives and to give maximum security on Abuja-Kaduna Expressway and everywhere around it.

“We will collaborate with other security operatives to see that the menace of kidnapping is addressed.

“I urge you to make sure you apprehend all the criminals terrorising innocent citizens on this highway and bring them to book.”

The DIG appealed to the communities to give police maximum support in fighting crime and criminality in Kaduna State and the country at large.
