The Inspector-General's commitment follows the recent killing of three police officers in the state, underscoring the severity of the security challenges. Disu emphasized the need for a unified approach, signaling a renewed determination to tackle the persistent threat of banditry that has destabilized communities and disrupted lives across Nigeria.
