Police in Borno State has arrested 22 suspected Boko Haram Commanders and Fighters responsible for the kidnap of Chibok girls, suicide attacks, series of bombings and other heinous crimes in the State.
According to the State Commissioner of Police, Damian Chukwu, the reinvigorated operational strategies of the Force with the deployment of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) by IGP Ibrahim Idris to squarely confront and arrest Boko Haram Commanders and fighters paid off this week, as identities of those behind the series of suicide bombings, mass killings of innocent persons and abductions/kidnap of hundreds of schoolgirls, boys and adults in the Northeast were unmasked.
The CP said the IGP after his 5-day operational tour of the Northeast in March 2018, decided to deploy the Force Intelligence Response Team to work in synergy with Commissioners of Police in the affected States.
