The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has condemned the attack on police officers and ordered an immediate and thorough clampdown on the perpetrators, vowing that no cop-killer will go unpunished.
Recall that an explosion attack at Nganzai Divisional Police Headquarters, Borno State, on Thursday, January 9, at about 12.10am, led to the death of two police officers; Inspector Bartholomew Kalawa and Corporal Mustapha Huzaifat.
Reacting to the attack, the IGP in a statement on Friday, by the Force spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, expressed deep condolences to the families of the deceased officers, asserting that their sacrifice in the line of duty will not be forgotten, as their benefits and entitlements will be immediately paid to their families.
Adejobi said, “The IGP has therefore directed the Zone 15 Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Kenechukwu Onwuemelie, fdc., to mobilize adequate resources and personnel, collaborate with other security agencies to ensure the perpetrators of this nefarious act are found and caused to face the full wrath of the law.
“As investigations continue, the IGP reaffirms the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to holding accountable those who jeopardise and disrupt the security arrangement and safety in Nigeria.”
