LAGOS, May 28 (Xinhua) -- Nigeria's police said on Tuesday that they had arrested 56 suspected criminals, including kidnappers and armed bandits terrorizing the northern state of Kaduna.
Ali Janga, the police chief in charge of the state, told reporters that with the arrests, he was on a mission to rid the state of crimes and criminality, warning that Kaduna would no longer be a safe haven for criminals.
He said that the police would work strictly on the basis of international core values of policing with integrity.
In Kaduna, thousands of passengers traveling by road have been waylaid by armed bandits and dispossessed of their goods.
