NAN – The Joint Task Force (JTF) in the Niger Delta, Operation Pulo Shield, on Friday, July 3, 2015 alerted the public on the new tricks deployed by kidnappers.
The JTF also urged the public to be security conscious and be wary of strange movements around them.
This is contained in a statement issued by Lt.-Col. Isa Ado, Spokesman of Operation Pulo Shield in Yenagoa.
It said that kidnappers now dress in military uniform, describing such act as mischievous and dubious.
According to Ado, the hoodlums who abducted the wife of ex-Bayelsa acting governor recently dubiously and mischievously claimed they were sent by the JTF Commander.
“This headquarters wish to bring to the notice of the general public that kidnappers in the state have adopted a new strategy and dimension to criminality in the state and warned that people should be wary and mindful of obnoxious acts by syndicated miscreants,’’ it said.
The JTF urged the people of the Niger Delta to report any suspicious act and movement of criminals in the state to JTF or any other security agencies for swift action without hesitation.
The task force, however, assured the law-abiding citizens that it would continue to uphold its Zero Tolerance Campaign against criminality in the region.
Ado further reassured that no stone would be left unturned to bring the miscreants to book as there was an ongoing operation to accost criminals.
