According to the police, citizens who intend to report the incident can visit the closest police station for that purpose.
The police also said Nigerians who are capable of arresting the suspects can do so and hand them over to the nearest police station.
The authorities further disclosed numbers citizens who want to share information can call.
However, some citizens who reacted to the post questioned why the police could not use biometric data to track the suspects.

You have all our data, bvn, finger print, passport photograph, nin and you’re still giving ten million to the public to look for someone with only picture that is not even clear.
Another group said they want upfront payment before they provide assistance to the police on the issue.

Pay advance of 5m then when the job is done you pay the balance. If you are OK with that then we start the search forthwith. The last I will trust in business is the Nigerian police. Wayoo na their nickname.''
Another set of users expressed doubt that the police will pay the promised reward .

Anybody that will give police the information of the whereabouts of these people hoping to get 10million will be very stupid. Better avoid the trap.''
