The Commissioner of Police in Cross River, CP Hafiz Inuwa
has called on residents in possession of illegal arms to surrender them to the
police.
He made the call in a statement by the Command’s Public
Relations Officer, DSP Irene Ugbo, on Friday in Calabar.
Inuwa said the command had intelligence information about
some unscrupulous politicians plotting to scuttle the 2019 general elections.
He said that an arms mop up operation would be conducted to
retrieve illegal weapons in circulation, halt the ongoing proliferation of
weapons, and restore law and order in the state.
The police boss called on residents to take advantage of the
voluntary arms surrender window to return illegal weapons in their possession.
