IGP Kayode Egbetokun, Inspector-General of Police, has condemned the explosion attack on Nganzai Divisional Police Headquarters, Borno State which led to the death of two police officers in the command.
The deceased officers, who were identified as Inspector Bartholomew Kalawa and Corporal Mustapha Huzaifat, were serving at the Borno command before their death during the attack on Thursday, January 9.
In reaction, the IGP ordered an immediate and thorough clampdown on the perpetrators, saying no cop-killer will go unpunished.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Friday by ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, who added that the IGP expressed deep condolences to the families of the deceased officers, “affirming that their sacrifice in the line of duty will not be forgotten, as their benefits and entitlements will be immediately paid to their families.”
“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,” the police spokesperson added.
