“To achieve success in these operations, the Police Special Tactical Force will be proactive, work on actionable intelligence already at the disposal of the Nigeria Police Force, and carry out 24 hours surveillance and patrol,” Moshood said.
He added that the force would also carry out continuous raids on identified and other suspected hideouts of the assailants so as to arrest attackers and their sponsors and prevent further loss of lives and other criminal activities in the area.
According to him, the special force will cover all the communities, towns, villages, vulnerable points, government and private infrastructure and facilities in the area.

Others include Technical Intelligence Unit and Special Tactical Squad, he said, adding that the team would be headed by an experienced Commissioner of Police.

He said that the investigation team which is under the supervision of a Deputy-Inspector General of Police (FCIID), was already in Zaki Biam and was making progress in the investigation into the killings of innocent people that occurred on Monday..

Moshood quoted the IGP as urging stakeholders in the area to prevail on their subjects to exercise restraint and support security agencies to bring the killers to justice.

This challenge is more prominent in online spaces like blogs and the social media. This is not to deny the obvious that facts also get disseminated through those mediums by legitimate sources.  These anomalies are the reasons why I decided to make my own little contribution by separating the facts from the fakes after investigations on the claims and counter claims. Below are the falsehood and facts which I will differentiate with "LIES" and FACT." 1a. Lies: Corona virus kills anyone who gets infected. 1b. Fact: Most people who get infected develop mild illness and recover without needing professional assistance. To buttress this point...
