Following the attack launched
by insurgents on the Gwoza Training camp of the Nigeria Police Mobile Force
(PMF), the Inspector-General of Police, Ag. IGP Suleiman Abba, has since
ordered the tightening of security around all police facilities in the country
in addition to efforts made to further protect the lives of all people in
Nigeria and their properties.
It will be recalled that a
ferocious attack earlier launched on the Training camp by insurgents on 7th
August, 2014 was repelled by the Police. On 20th August, 2014, the
attackers launched a fresh offensive that lasted for several hours where the Policemen
on duty engaged them in a fierce battle.
The search and rescue party launched
immediately has located and brought to safety all Police officers in the
Training College at the time of attack. So far, thirty-five policemen who are still
missing from the facility as a result of the latest attack are being searched
for with very promising prospect of locating them.
While enjoining all citizens
to remain calm and join hands with the security forces in the collective fight
against insurgency, the IGP restates his determination to work closely with
other security agencies to stem the tide of terrorism in the country.
