The Inspector General of Police, Adamu Mohammed has said that the series of unwarranted attacks carried out against his men and officers during last Saturday’s general elections is unacceptable to him.
While speaking through the Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters in Abuja, ACP Frank Mba he decried the attack on a Deputy Commissioner of Police in Brass, Bayelsa State and ordered for the immediate arrest, comprehensive investigation and diligent prosecution of persons involved, no matter their positions in society.
The IGP, who described the incident as unwarranted and unprovoked, warned that under his watch, such brazen acts of impunity will not be condoned.
In a related incident, Five (5) male suspects have been arrested in Umuahia, Abia State over an attack on a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) who was patriotically defending the sanctity of the electoral system at a Collation Centre in Umuahia.
Said the IGP “These attacks have once again highlighted the risks and hazards inherent in policing our clime, and the need for stakeholders and government at all levels to continue to support the officers and men of the Force in the discharge of their responsibilities”.
Meanwhile, the IGP has commended all Nigerians, whom, by their words and actions, have clearly identified with the Force by denouncing these barbaric and uncivilized actions against Police Officers performing their legitimate duties.
The IGP reassured the public that the two officers are safe and in good health and are not under any form of unlawful restraint or detention.
