IG warns Nigerians against inciting policemen

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Suleiman Abba has called on the members of the public to stop inciting Junior police officers.

A statement by the force spokesman, Emmanuel Ojukwu, said “while warning such members of the public to desist from this unholy attitude, the IGP wishes to draw attention to the dangers inherent in Police officers disobeying superior orders and acting outside the code of conduct.

“It does not portend well for public safety and security, and is a threat to our democracy.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Nigeria Police Force will never tolerate any iota of indiscipline in the form of a strike, or work-to-rule among its personnel.

“Any officer found to be engaged in such a despicable act will be arrested and sanctioned in line with the Police Regulation and the Laws of the Federation.

“Meanwhile, every effort is being made to meet the welfare needs of all Police personnel including the payment of promotion arrears which has since commenced with the payment to the promoted officers of salaries attendant on their new ranks,” the statement added.
