The Inspector-General of Police,
IGP Suleiman Abba CFR, NPOM, NPM, mni, has ordered Command
Commissioners of Police to embark on intensive recovery of fire arms in the
possession of unauthorized security outfits/Agencies, including some state
owned security outfits across the country. They are equally to ensure that
suspects arrested in connection with it are given speedy prosecution at law
courts. This is in view of reported cases of political violence emanating from
illegal use of fire arms by these unlawful outfits.
This directive is aimed at
keeping violence and other criminalities at bay, as 2015 general elections draw
nearer and to further ensure a safe ground is guaranteed for a peaceful poll.
The Nigeria Police Force is
therefore using this medium to further advise the political stakeholders to
play the game by the rules, as all measures put in place to ensure a free, fair
and credible election will be implemented to the letter. Members of the public
are also enjoined to continue to collaborate with the Police to fish out
criminal elements and report any suspicious movement in their areas.
