The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Suleiman Abba CFR, NPOM, NPM, mni, has denied issuing any arrest order on any particular person involved in the attack on Policemen, or the disturbance of public peace, at the premises of the National Assembly, Abuja on Thursday, 20 November, 2014. Rather, it lies with the investigating Police Officers to determine who to invite, quiz and prosecute as the case may be.
In another vein, the
Inspector-General of Police has condemned in very strong terms the unwarranted
attack on Police Officers providing security at a political rally in Oke Ado
area of Ibadan, Oyo State, during which one Police Inspector was shot dead and
5 others sustained grievous injuries.
While ordering a thorough
investigation into the shooting incident and the attendant death of a service
personnel, the Inspector-General of Police reiterated his warning to political
actors to desist from the use of thugs in pursuing their agenda. The IGP
reaffirmed the resolve and determination of the Nigeria Police to provide a
safe and secure corridor for all political competitors, stressing that
offenders of the Electoral Act will face the full wrath of the law.
