- As Police arrest suspected looters
Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has met with youth leaders from the 23 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state, appealing to them not to engage in any act of violence or looting.
During the stakeholders meeting on Friday, El-Rufai vowed to prosecute those behind the looting and threat of peace in Kaduna South and Chikun LGAs according to the law.
While admitting that there are some bad officers in the Force that should be fished out, El-Rufai warned on the dangers of attacking officers or tagging the entire force as bad because of the misconduct of a few personnel.
The governor also condemned the recent attack of policemen and police barracks in some parts of the country during the #EndSARS protest which led to the death of some officers.
Meanwhile, the Kaduna State Police Command said it has arrested 93 suspected looters and vandals of public and private property in various parts of the state capital.
Briefing journalists on the security situation in the state, the States Police Commissioner, Umar Muri explained that the arrested suspects were responsible for the unprecedented vandalization and theft of public and private properties across the state.
The Police Commissioner said that the police also recovered several looted items including bags of grains, expired drugs, mattresses, bundles of zinc, computers, air conditioners, water-testing machines and many others, all looted from the National Agency for Food Drug Administration (NAFDAC) office, private and public warehouses as well as private homes.
