Vandalism: IGP deploys tactical unit to Ogun

The acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris has deployed a Tactical Operation Unit to flush out vandals and other criminals operating in the Arepo and Ibafo areas of Ogun State.
The unit comprises the Police Mobile Force, and the Counter Terrorism Unit with the back-up of an Air Surveillance Team.
A statement by Force Public Relations Officer DCP Don Awunah yesterday, said the unit, deployed on Thursday, was to ensure that normalcy returned to the areas in record time.
Awunah said IGP Idris noted that the police cannot watch any criminal group or groups take the law into their hands and therefore authorised the unit to deal decisively with anyone who constitutes himself an enemy of the state.
The IGP asked law-abiding citizens of the area to return home and go about their normal businesses.
The police spokesman recalled that Arepo and Ibafo have for some time now been in the news for the wrong reasons due to anti-social behaviour of miscreants in the areas.
He also said the police have arrested one Aloysius Ebiniko, said to be the kingpin of the armed gang that abducted and murdered Col. Samaila Inusa on March 27 in Kaduna.
