Police authorities have described as baseless, rumour making
the rounds that it has discontinued the massive manhunt placed on the
heads of its personnel who bolted after one Ahmed Grema, of the Nigerian
Immigration Service, Maiduguri, revealed their membership of Boko
Haram.
“No. It is a rumour. We (police) are on top of the
situation. The manhunt is still on,” said Force Public Relations
Officer (FPRO), Frank Mbah in a chat with Reporters 365.com.
He
asserted that the police has not changed its mind on the massive manhunt
it placed on the heads of the affected officers who got wind of their
impending arrest and fled before they could be taken into custody.
According
to him, the affected policemen can run but the long arm of the law will
eventually catch up with them, no matter where they run to.
Mbah
called for a closer collaboration between the police and members of the
public especially in the area of information flow so that crime and
criminality will be curbed in the country.
It will be recalled
that in his confessional statement when men of the Joint Task Force
(JTF) apprehended him last September, Grema disclosed
that the Boko Haram sect also has other well placed security operatives as members.
that the Boko Haram sect also has other well placed security operatives as members.
It
was also gathered that officers and men of the security agencies, who
are suspected of having close ties with the Islamic sect, have gone
underground since Grema’s confession that he and the others have played
active parts in the killing of some senior civil servants, security
agents and politicians who oppose the activities of the group.
