In response to Thursday’s attack at Nganzai Divisional Police Headquarters, Borno State, which led to the death of two police officers, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has ordered an immediate and thorough clampdown on the perpetrators as any cop-killers will go unpunished.
The IGP expresses deep condolences to the families of the deceased officers – Inspector Bartholomew Kalawa and Corporal Mustapha Huzaifat – noting that their sacrifice in the line of duty will not be forgotten, as their benefits and entitlements will be immediately paid to their families.
The IGP has therefore directed the Zone 15 Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Kenechukwu Onwuemelie, fdc., to mobilize adequate resources and personnel, collaborate with other security agencies to ensure the perpetrators of this nefarious act are found and caused to face the full wrath of the law.
As investigations continue, the IGP reaffirms the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to holding accountable those who jeopardise and disrupt the security arrangement and safety in Nigeria.
