The Nigeria Police Force launched intelligence-led policing in 2015 with the installation of a tracking device that was installed by then Inspector-General of Police office, Solomon Arase. The team monitored the kidnappers’ movements in real-time, with the information from the device, thereby helping them stay one step ahead. One of such cases was the arrest of five kidnappers of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae. In this case, five of the kidnappers came to pick up a N5 million ransom in Suleja, Niger State. “Immediately the kidnappers removed the SIM card used to negotiate, we knew where they were and intercepted them at the last bridge to Minna,” But successive IGPs who were analogues didn’t know what to do. Instead of the platform being used for crime prevention, it became political.
