Segun Atanda/

A stern warning has been given by the acting Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to those who launch attacks on his officers.

Condemning the attack on a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) in Brass, Bayelsa State, yesterday, Adamu warned that under his watch such impunity would not be condoned. 

According to the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP Frank Mba, the acting IGP has ordered for “the immediate arrest, comprehensive investigation and diligent prosecution of persons involved, no matter their positions in society”.

Mba in a statement sent to NewsmakersNG says: “The IGP, who described the incident as unwarranted and unprovoked, warns 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. 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 reassures the public that the two Officers are safe and in good health and are not under any form of unlawful restraint or detention.”
