Nasarawa Killings: Enough Is Enough, Says IGP As He Vows To Fish Out Killers

Following the brutal killing of scores of
policemen in Nasarawa state on Wednesday by
members of an ethnic militia – Ombatse, the
Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed
Abubakar, has given Assistant Inspectors
General of Police (AIGs) in charge of the North
Central zone and the Nasarawa State
Commissioner of Police the marching orders to
arrest the persons behind the dastardly act.
In a statement signed by Deputy Force Public
Relations Officer, Mr. Frank Mba, on Thursday,
Abubakar vowed to bring the perpetrators to
book in record time warning, "enough is
enough."
The statement reads: "We consider the attack
not just an attack on the Nigeria Police and its
officers and men but an attack on the collective
will of Nigerians to protect and preserve our
dear fatherland. This, we have vowed to put an
end to.
"This disturbing, condemnable and highly
distressing incident, coming closely after similar
ones in Bayelsa and Borno States, had thrown
up new and emerging threat in the delicate task
of policing our country.
"Consequently, the IGP has directed all its field
commanders and Special Units including
Assistant Inspectors-General of Police and
Commissioners of Police to harness all resources
available within their domain in ensuring that
this reign of terror and lawlessness is brought to
an end.
"The Nigeria Police Force working in conjunction
with all positive minded Nigerians, will do
everything within its powers to fish out and
bring to book all those involved in this and other
similar killings of law enforcement agents.
"We must put an end to this endless circle of
impunity. Enough is enough."
