“In the year under review, the Nigeria Police Force achieved major successes in tackling crime, leading to the arrest of 30,313 suspects for a range of serious offenses, including kidnapping, cultism, murder, rape, armed robbery, and unlawful possession of firearms,” IGP Egbetokun told the gathering at the Force Headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday.
