The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has described the $7m bounty on Abubakar Shekau and other members of Boko Haram as a positive development.
The IG therefore called on Nigerians to take the matter seriously and give security agencies relevant information that would lead to the arrest of terrorists.
The IG stated this during the inauguration of newly completed ultra-modern hospitals at the Police College, Ikeja, Lagos on Tuesday.
He said while fielding questions from journsalists, “Yes, the move is good. Anybody who has information should come forward and claim the reward.”
The police boss, who also inaugurated hospitals at the Area F Command, Ikeja and Area H Command, Ogudu, said improving the welfare of policemen would impact positively on their performance.
He said he had inaugurated many hospitals in various states and other hospitals were being built.
He said the well-being of men and officers of the Nigeria Police was very essential.
Abubakar said, “Today, history is being made as we try to take care of the welfare of the police.”
Retired IG, Musiliu Smith, who was at the event, described the hospitals, as a very important welfare project.
