“Through intelligence-led policing, community engagement, enhanced surveillance and coordinated tactical operations, the Command has reviewed and strengthened its crime-fighting strategies to effectively combat criminal activities across the state,” he said.
Mohammed revealed that the Command has intensified security operations in ten identified flashpoints based on crime mapping and threat assessments.
The affected areas include the Gudi axis and surrounding communities, Lafia-Akwanga and Akwanga-Jos road corridors, Doma-Rukubi route, Lafia-Makurdi highway, Inde Hills in Nasarawa Eggon Local Government Area, Garaku-Keffi corridor in Kokona LGA, Akwanga Forest axis spanning Obi and Keana LGAs, as well as Ajimaka, Gidanrai, Ambaka and Konfu-Gwaiaka communities.
He stated that the locations continue to receive heightened security attention because of their strategic importance and vulnerability to criminal activities.
To strengthen security presence in the affected areas, the Command has deployed both conventional and tactical policing assets, including stop-and-search checkpoints, mobile police units and special operational teams.
The commissioner further disclosed that tactical formations have been stationed at key locations such as Inde Hills, Akwanga Forest, Garaku-Keffi Road and other identified hotspots to deny criminal elements freedom of operation.
In addition, he said Safer Highway Patrol teams now maintain round-the-clock surveillance on major roads including Doma Road, Makurdi Road, Shendam Road, Akwanga-Jos Road, Gudi-Keffi Road and the Keffi-Abuja highway.
According to him, the patrols are supported by intelligence gathering mechanisms and rapid response units designed to swiftly respond to security threats and emergencies.
Mohammed reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to sustaining aggressive crime-fighting measures and strengthening partnerships with communities to ensure the protection of lives and property across Nasarawa State.
