The Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, has directed the Assistant Inspectors General of Police (AIGs) and the Commissioners of Police (CPs) in the areas affected by IPOB unrest, to immediately disarm members of the group operating with firearms.
The IGP noted that the targeted attacks on Police personnel who had been performing their statutory functions in the most professional and civil manner since the latest resurgence disorder, portrayed the IPOB activists, who are orchestrating the insurrection, as having crossed the threshold in their misguided attempt to test the common will of the nation. The agitators are said to have killed 2 police officers during the unrest.
While condemning the killings, Arase also directed the arrest of any member of the group found in possession of firearms and to bring him/her to deserved justice, while all IPOB activists arrested in connection with the killing of the Policemen should be charged to court for murder.
According to him, "the Nigeria Police Force will continue to diligently work towards eliminating any threat to internal security and assure Nigerians of commitment to their safety and security."
