The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, has ordered the Assistant Inspector Generals of Police (AIGs), Commissioners of Police (CPs), and Tactical Commanders across the country to “reclaim the public spaces from hoodlums, restore public order and put a stop to the unacceptable criminal assault on innocent citizens and symbols of state authority.”
The IGP, in a statement, yesterday, condemned, in very strong terms, the new wave of violent crimes taking place in the Southeastern States, especially Anambra State. He equally expressed his commitment and determination to reversing the ugly trend and restoring peace in Igbo land and other parts of Nigeria.
He disclosed that the Force will soon be launching a massive, well-coordinated, target-oriented, and intelligence-driven operation aimed at neutralising the threats from bandits, terrorists, and other criminals operating across the country.
The IGP called on citizens to remain calm, vigilant and continue to support the law enforcement community in their onerous task of providing public safety and security.
