The IGP, who described the incident as
unwarranted and unprovoked, warns that under his watch, such brazen acts of
impunity will not be condoned.
In a related incident, Five (5) male suspects
have been arrested in Umuahia, Abia State over an attack on a Deputy
Superintendent of Police (DSP) who was patriotically defending the sanctity of
the electoral system at a Collation Centre in Umuahia. These attacks have once
again highlighted the risks and hazards inherent in policing our clime, and the
need for stakeholders and government at all levels to continue to support the
officers and men of the Force in the discharge of their responsibilities.
Meanwhile, the IGP has commended all Nigerians,
whom, by their words and actions, have clearly identified with the Force by
denouncing these barbaric and uncivilized actions against Police Officers performing
their legitimate duties. The IGP reassures the public that the two Officers are
safe and in good health and are not under any form of unlawful restraint or
detention.
