Mrs Isokpan issued the warning on Thursday shortly after assuming office as the new AIG in charge of Zone 8 Police Command, Lokoja, comprising Kogi and Kwara.
The AIG, who is the first female and 31st officer to head the zone, was received at the headquarters by the Commissioner of Police, Kogi Command, CP Naziru Kankarofi, and members of the command’s management team.
The AIG said, in line with the IGP’s directive, police deployments to flashpoints in Kogi had been increased, leading to improved response times.
Mrs Isokpan warned criminals in the two states to either abandon their activities or be prepared to face the consequences of the law.
