The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has put all police chiefs operating in the Northern region on red alert ahead of the eviction threat given to Igbos in the North by a coalition of Arewa youth groups.
The police chiefs mobilized and charged for possible actions include: all AIGs and Commissioners of Police serving in the North.
The IGP, who addressed the officers at the Force headquarters in Abuja said: “there is no group of persons that has a right to chase another out of any part of the country and hence, the need to be on the lookout for any miscreants, who may try to cause any problem.
“Though there are no arrests made yet, we are working with other security agencies to ensure that the directive of the government of Kaduna state governor is carried out,” he added.
Speaking on the kidnapped students in Lagos, the Police boss said: “Police has arrested eight persons indirectly linked to the kidnapping; but we are careful not to risk the lives of the students in trying to rescue them. “There are plans to permanently tackle the problem kidnapping on the riverside areas of Lagos state as the we will soon deploy gun boats to the rivers.”
The IGP further warned against abuse of spy plate numbers, sirens and tinted glass, stating that henceforth, there will be a taskforce tasked with the responsibility of arresting offenders.
While calling for more support for the Police force, the IGP called on state governors to provide facilities for the establishment of mobile police units as was done in Enugu and Anambra recently; noting that such establishment will aid in tackling security issues.
