Speaking yesterday in Owerri at the Southeast Security Summit, tagged, Community Policing: Rethinking National Security Framework for National Development, the inspector general of Police,(IGP) Ibrahim Idris, has  regretted the security challenges besetting the country.

Idris, at the well-attended event, also regretted the Offa robbery of six banks in which about 30 persons, including police officers, were killed and 21 riffles snatched.

He, however, disclosed that 12 suspects had been arrested in connection with the incident.
