To this end, all area commanders, divisional police officers, other officers, inspectors and rank and file serving in the divisions, police stations and outposts in the axis of the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria highway have been posted out.
In their place, new area commanders, divisional police officers, other superior police officers, inspectors and rank and file have been deployed to bring the situation under control.
