The
Inspector General of Police, IGP Ibrahim
K. Idris has described as deeply worrisome the rate at which
officers and men lose their lives in the course of discharging their statutory
duties.
2. These line of duty resultant deaths,
occasioned by unwarranted attacks by religious bigot, bandits, hoodlums and
militants must be reversed and the trend halted.
3. In the past three months, the Force has
lost one hundred and twenty eight (128) personnel in various parts of the
country due to activities of these undesirable elements in our communities.
Also disturbing, is the wanton destruction of Police infrastructure and public
assets. The recent cases in Dankamoji village in Maradu LGA of Zamfara state,
Abagana in Anambra state and in Okrika waterways in Rivers state where
personnel were killed, arms carted away, structures and equipment destroyed are
cases in point.
4. IGP regrets the loss of these personnel in
the course of their national duty and condoles with their families while
assuring them of the Force’s support to cushion the effect of this irreparable
loss. Their departure will certainly not be in vain.
5. The IGP urges the officers not to relent
or be distracted in our collective will to serve this country, the costly
challenges notwithstanding. The law abiding citizens are equally advised to
continue to render the Police the desired support and assistance.
