The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc (+), NPM, has directed all Commissioners of Police across the country to intensify community policing efforts through regular town hall engagements and improved public accessibility within their respective Commands.

He emphasized that security remains a collective responsibility requiring strong collaboration between the Police and communities. As part of the initiative, Commissioners of Police have been directed to hold regular interactive sessions with critical stakeholders, including traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth organizations, market associations, transport unions, women groups, and other community-based institutions. The Inspector-General further directed all Commissioners of Police to make their contact details accessible to recognized community leaders within their states, in order to strengthen communication, improve responsiveness, and build public confidence in policing operations. The IGP noted that community-driven intelligence remains vital in combating crime and addressing emerging security threats, stressing that stronger police-community relationships will enhance public safety and operational effectiveness nationwide.

๐Ÿ”ฅBREAKING KATSINA NEWS: ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿช–TROOPS SMASH TERROR HIDEOUT – 2 DOWN, 32 KIDNAP VICTIMS RESCUED ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ

On May 8, troops of 17 Brigade and the Katsina State Community Watch Corps advanced on the hideout of notorious terrorist kingpin Muhammadu Filani whose terror network has held Musawa, Matazu, and Kankia LGAs hostage. The target: Dikawa village outskirts, Matazu LGA. As troops moved in, t€rr0r!sts opened fire from behind rocky terrain. The response was swift and lethal. ๐Ÿ’€ CASUALTIES & RECOVERIES: ✅ 2 terrorists neutralised ✅ 32 kidnapped victims rescued ✅ Large cache of weapons seized ✅ 10 motorcycles recovered This is the second phase of a sustained clearance operation. The first phase softened them. This phase is dismantling them. No soldier casualties reported. The rescued victims many of whom had spent weeks in captivity are now receiving medical attention and will be reunited with their families. The message: You can hide in the rocks. You can call yourself a kingpin. But you cannot outrun coordinated, intelligence‑led ground offensives. Operation continues. More arrests expected. ©️ @ZagazOlaMakama
