Bello warned all criminal elements in the state to repent or be ready to face justice, as the command would arrest them and bring them to book.

The Commandant urged all law-abiding citizens to go about their lawful business and report any suspicious activities to security agencies so as to make Kaduna, a crime-free state.

Bello commended the Commandant General of the Corps as well as Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State for their continuous support to the corps to be up to date with modern security apparatus in order to confront present-day challenges.
