The inspector-general of police (IGP), Usman Baba has said the force will no longer condone attacks on police facilities, particularly in the South East.
He said this in a statement issued by Muyiwa Adejobi, the force’s spokesperson on Thursday.
The IGP also ordered immediate deployment of additional operational assets to the police units in the South-East.
“Consequently, the IGP has ordered the immediate deployment of additional operational assets to complement officers and men attached to operations to restore peace in the south-east and other launched operations with the aim of flushing out criminal elements who hide under the guise of aggrieved citizens to perpetrate criminal acts.
“The IGP warned that attacks on police officers in the line of duty would no longer be tolerated under whatever guise, as the force holds the lives of its personnel sacrosanct, and such unwarranted attacks would be strictly treated in accordance with extant law,” he said.
