Easter in Fear - IGP tasks Police with Peaceful Celebration

The Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Abubakar, has ordered special security operations across the country to ensure peaceful Easter celebrations.

 The operations encompass extensive counter-terrorism sweeps, detailed overt and covert surveillance operations, intelligence-driven raids, arms mop-up as well as special stop and search exercise among  other strategies.

Abubakar gave the order as parents and youths armed with bows and arrows have commenced thorough search for the 99 out of the 129 girls abducted from the Government Girls’ Secondary School, GGSS, Chibok, in Borno State last Friday by members of the Boko Haram terrorists, blaming the government for not being serious about finding their children and wards.

The people took the decision to take the bull by the horns in looking for their children, following the claim by the Military that over 88 of the abducted students had been rescued.
