The Nigerian government will deploy a special military squad to Kogi State to tackle kidnapping and other related crimes that have bedeviled the state in recent times, a military official said on Tuesday.
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai, informed the Governor of the State, Mr. Yahaya Bello, of the planned deployment during a meeting with him at the State’s capital, Lokoja.
He said that the Federal Government was worried over the increase in kidnapping and other related crimes and was ready to curb the situation.
The Army Chief was in the state with some of his men on a working visit to the military formation to see the challenges facing them and proffer a solution to enable them to carry on with their constitutional responsibility of ensuring internal security.
