The meeting coincided with the parade of 23 criminal suspects, including seven members of Dahiru and Abu’s kidnapping gang, who were apprehended by a combined team of law enforcement operatives.

Expressing determination to eradicate criminal activities, Wike emphasized that his administration would leave no stone unturned in bringing perpetrators to justice.
