“Criminal elements should return the looted arms and ammunition within seven days with effect from November 9. Failure to comply with this warning, the police will adopt legal means to arrest, disarm and prosecute them,” he said.
Kokumo promised to reward anyone with useful information that would lead to the arrest of suspects and recovery of the arms and ammunition.
He however solicited the collaboration of the people in the area of information gathering and dissemination, noting that the police can’t do it alone.
