Senate demands recruitment of more police operatives to tackle kidnappings

The Senate on Wednesday called for the recruitment of more police personnel to check kidnappings and other crimes in the country.

This followed the adoption of a motion titled: “Galadimawa kidnap incident response and need to urgently enhance security measures in FCT, Nigeria,” sponsored by the Senator from Delta North, Ned Nwoko at the plenary in Abuja.

Nwoko, who led the debate on the motion, said the Senate on November 23 last year resolved that security agencies should fortify security and address the surge of kidnappings in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
