The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Abubakar, has debunked the findings of a recent survey by the CLEEN Foundation which claimed that armed robbery incidents? increased by six per cent between 2010 and 2012.

Abubakar, who, yesterday, reacted to the findings of the survey during a meeting with a delegation of governmental and non Governmental Justice Institutions, maintained that the Nigeria Police has done well given the prevailing circumstances under which they operated.
