Okon, who said his men recently smashed one of the notorious kidnapping gangs with their base in Aba, which had been terrorising residents of the commercial city and other parts of the state, added that the police are not resting on their oars, but rather committed to nipping crimes in the bud.
He thanked the Inspector-General of Police Mohammed Adamu for sending the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT) team to the state to crack down on criminals.
He noted that the IGP IRT had helped the command in no small ways in fighting crimes.
