The Inspector-General of Police, MOHAMMED ADAMU, has ordered the deployment of Police aerial surveillance helicopters to major cities in the South-West and North-West of the country.

This is part of efforts aimed at effectively curtailing crimes in the country.

This comes after the murder of a catholic priest, Rev. Father, DAVID TANKO yesterday by suspected bandits in Taraba state.

The IGP called on Nigerians not to panic, assuring the nation that the perpetrators of the dastardly act will not go unpunished.

He also enjoined the people to be calm and give maximum support to the Police in the bid towards unravelling the authors of the crime and circumstances surrounding the unfortunate killing of the Priest.
