THE Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Hafiz Ringim, has said with the presentation of 10 Amoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) to the Nigeria Police, the days of Boko Haram sect are numbered in Borno State.
The IGP said this in an interview with newsmen in Maiduguri, Borno State capital, on Tuesday, shortly after he received 10 APCs and 10 Hilux patrol vehicles presented to the police by Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State.
The police boss said he was in Maiduguri on the instruction of the president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, to assess the security situation in the state.
He said all over the world, security was being driven by intelligence gathering, charging that members of the society should assist the security agencies in the state to get rid of the members of the sect.
“The logistics will not only enhance the operation of the Nigeria Police, but will also assist the entire security agencies in Borno State and Nigeria at large in our fight against the Boko Haram menace that has engulfed the state and other parts of the North for quite some time,” he said.
The police boss assured the public of confidentiality of all information given to the security agencies, while he urged them to take advantage of the modern information technology, which enabled them to interact with the police without disclosing their identity.
He said the police relied on the general public in their intelligence gathering, as they could not be everywhere.
