The Inspector General of Police, IGP, Idris Ibrahim, has described the abduction of secondary schoolgirls in Dapchi, Yobe State as a national embarrassment.
The police boss said this while addressing Squadron, Counter Terrorism Unit, CTU, Special Protection Unit, SPU and Commanders at the Force Headquarters on Tuesday in Abuja.
He also absolved the Nigeria Police of blame in the unfortunate incident, just as he said Police Mobile Force would be deployed to all the schools in the northeast in order to forestall future occurrence.
He said, “You are all aware of the abduction of Dapchi school girls by this horrible Boko Haram in Yobe States.
“Though not the fault of the police, the incident was a national embarrassment.
“It is not the fault of the police because from what we had from the Commissioner of Police in the state, he said he was not informed or alerted before that attack took place but I think it is incumbent on us to take action.
“Consequently, in compliance with the Presidential order, I have given a directive that all schools in Yobe, Adamawa and Borno state must have PMF personnel deployed to the schools.
“The PMF are to provide security in those schools.”
