The State’s Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Lawan, made this revelation during a press briefing held at the Police Command headquarters in Maiduguri.

He commended Governor Babagana Umara Zulum’s administration for amending the Borno Penal Code, which has led to increased convictions and more severe penalties for criminals.
