We Will Sustain Ground, Aerial Surveillance In Zamfara – Police

The Zamfara State Police Command has assured that the ground and aerial team deployed by the Inspector-General of police, Mr. Mohammed Adamu will continue to sustain the ongoing ground and aerial surveillance patrol in the state.

The commissioner of police, Mr. Abutu Yaro congratulated Zamfara State government and parents of the just-released schoolgirls, assuring that a full-scale investigation is presently in progress, and that anybody found in connection with the abduction would not go unpunished.

In a press statement signed by the state police command’s spokesman, SP Mohammed Shehu, the commissioner noted that the number of abducted students were 279 and not 317 as earlier announced.

According to him, the victims are currently receiving medical attention by the joint state government and police medical teams, saying that detectives from the state CID headed by the DC Investigation are currently debriefing the affected victims with a view to unravelling the circumstances behind the bizarre crime.

The commissioner, however, appealed to the general public to assist the security agencies with timely and useful information that can lead to the prevention of crimes in the state.
