The Nigeria Police rescued 865 kidnapped individuals between January and November, according to Inspector-General of Police Usman Baba, and detained 383 criminals.
On Thursday in Abuja, the Strategic Police Force Managers spoke with the Inspector General of Police about this.
Officials with the rank of commissioner of police or higher are considered managers.
Baba reported that a total of 923 suspects in armed robberies, 335 suspects in homicides, and 473 suspects in cult members were detained throughout the investigation.
The IGP claimed that the Nigeria Police National Cybercrime Centre's capacity to investigate cybercrime had increased, leading to 478 suspects in cybercrime's arrest.
He mentioned that the Central Bank of Nigeria has supported the centre's establishment by deploying highly skilled police cybercrime officers.
The head of police claims that INTERPOL has continued to use its resources to find and capture international criminal fugitives.
He noted that during the time under review, internal security activities resulted in the seizure of 1,125 firearms of various sorts and 10,653 rounds of ammunition of various calibres.
Baba asserted that his men had captured 696 terrorists, bandits, and secessionists around the nation in addition to the 284 pipeline vandals.
The conference, according to the police chief, was held to discuss operational issues about the police mandate and to evaluate the force's performance over the previous year.
Another objective, he noted, was to develop agreed to police goals for the future general elections in 2023 and to review and improve election security governance plans.
He asserts that the previous year saw several security challenges that eventually put the nation's security order and sense of unity in danger.
Baba said: “Some of these threats relate to flashes of violent campaigns by terrorists and bandits in the Northern geopolitical Zones and violent secessionist activities in the South East and adjoining States by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra.
“Others are the Eastern Security Network and other pockets of factions of IPOB, all of which were bent on engaging non-constitutional means to threaten the legitimacy of government at all levels.
“Other highly organised crimes that the Force had to grapple with in the outgoing year include kidnapping, armed robbery, cultism, illegal firearms trafficking and proliferation, cybercrime, gender-based violence and other transnational crimes.”
The head of police indicated that the department could overcome the dangers by revising its operational methods, acquiring new, specialised operational assets, increasing its intelligence capacity, and instituting a more purposeful police-community interactions framework.
The I-G said that the gains achieved were thanks to the sacrifice, courage, commitment, and dedication of personnel of the Nigeria Police, as well as the trust and synergy between the force, the military, the intelligence community, and other security services.
Baba declared at the end of the year, “We confronted the threats frontally, gallantly took the battle to the doorsteps of the criminal elements and successfully stabilised the internal security order as the year winds down.
“These breakthroughs would not have been achieved without the loyalty and leadership skills of all of you here seated, and for this, I specially salute your courage and commend you all for supporting my leadership.
“I trust that you shall continue to march shoulder to shoulder with my leadership towards building on the gains we have recorded so far in our onslaught against criminal elements.
“On our part, I assure you that we shall continue to offer a purposeful and all-inclusive leadership that will address your welfare, career, and operational concerns.”
