According to the Commissioner, “the particular challenges we face are the difficult terrain and Communication, infact, there are some places that if you must go, you have to go through Kaduna State. So the terrain is a problem, and also some of these communities have no network connection. So, if there is problem, or before information gets to us, the bandits would have escaped.”

The Police Boss while assuring that, the Police will continue to do its best to ensure banditry is permanently eliminated in the State however sort for the cooperation of the lawmakers saying that they are closer to the people in the rural area and should therefore oblige the Force with adequate information.
