South).Abubakar disclosed this while fielding questions from journalists at the opening of a conference for police sectional heads, zonal commanders and states criminal investigations departments.
He asked the public to assist the police by providing useful information that would help in prosecution.
“We cannot take anybody to court without ample evidence. Investigators need evidence to pursue their cases. So we need assistance. This is one of the many reasons for this conference today,” he said.
