The police command in Kaduna says it will leverage the emergence of new executives of the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) to combat the growing menace of cybercrimes.

Police commissioner Ibrahim Abdullahi disclosed this on Thursday in Kaduna at the inauguration of 26-member new executives of PCRC.

According to the police chief, the command will also actively partner with the committee to fight a myriad of crimes and all forms of criminality across the state.

He decried that vibrant youths were involving themselves in cybercrimes and other forms of criminality.

Mr Abdullahi commended the committee for being an active partner of the Nigeria Police Force, saying that the members have been part of the success story of the command.

Mr Abdullahi also underscored their role in gathering credible intelligence and the execution of many developmental projects.

PCRC national president Mogaji Olaniyan also expressed delight that the committee in the state was more united and poised to take it to greater heights.

According to Mr Olaniyan, the committee will also partner the various transport unions in the state to stem the tide of the movement of illicit drugs and illegal firearms, among other crimes.

He said PCRC was strongly committed to assisting the Police and other security agencies to guarantee the security of lives and property of Nigerians.

Mr Olaniyan, who vowed that the peace in the Kaduna PCRC would be permanent, warned against insolence, indiscipline, impersonation and insubordination by any member.

He charged the members with being committed, loyal, and dedicated to taking PCRC to greater heights.

Police spokesman Mansur Hassan promised to work around the clock with the committee to improve policing further. He also corroborated the police commissioner on the need to ensure the productive use of the energies of the youths for national development.
