The Inspector General of Police, Mr Muhammadu Adamu has called for tougher legislations against kidnapping and banditry including possible state seizure of assets linked to illicit proceeds from
kidnapping and other heinous crimes.
Mr Adamu believes that such will act as a strong disincentive to potential kidnappers and other violent criminals.
The Inspector General of Police made the call while addressing a delegation of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria ALGON,
Nasarawa State Chapter, led by Alhaji. Aminu Muazu Maifata who paid him the traditional Salah visit in his official quarters in Abuja.
He noted that the call has become necessary against the increasingly daring resort to these forms of crimes by criminal elements in the society.
Mr Adamu used the opportunity to apprise the visitors on the successes recorded by Operation Puff Adder in the ongoing fight against criminal elements across the country.
