This is the statement
from the General Police IG…
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.
