Enugu Police Crack Down on Crime | Nigeria News

Enugu State police are making waves with major crackdowns—detaining over 6,200 suspects in just 17 months, including 158 for kidnapping, 186 for armed robbery, and 188 for murder. They’ve seized 43 AK-47s and over 1,400 rounds of ammo, rescued 211 kidnapped victims, and recovered 209 stolen vehicles.

But they’re calling for more support—staff, gear, and officer welfare—from higher command. Assistant Inspector-General Miller Dantawaye visited to reinforce professionalism and ethical conduct, reminding officers to uphold citizens’ rights. It’s a story of bold action and a plea for sustained backing to keep Enugu streets safer and trust stronger. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
