“I have met and interacted with critical security stakeholders, including local government chairmen, traditional rulers, heads of other security agencies and many others, on the best ways to collectively tackle security challenges in the state,” NAN quoted Uzuegbu as saying.
“These engagements, I must tell you, have started paying off as we are making remarkable progress in tackling violent crimes of kidnapping, armed robbery and the criminal activities of subversive criminals.
“It is a known fact that it is humanly impossible to totally eliminate crimes in human society.

The police commissioner also urged traditional rulers and parents in the state to encourage their children and wards to behavioural change to desist from crimes.
