…… Commiserates with families of deceased officers
…… Orders Zonal AIG to deploy resources for swift action
In a resolute response to the recent explosion attack at Nganzai Divisional Police Headquarters, Borno State, on 9th January 2025, at about 12.10 am, which led to the death of two police officers, Inspector Bartholomew Kalawa and Corporal Mustapha Huzaifat, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has condemned the attack and ordered an immediate and thorough clampdown on the perpetrators, as any cop-killers will go unpunished.
According to a press release on Friday, 10th January 2025, signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the IGP expresses deep condolences to the families of the deceased officers, affirming that their sacrifice in the line of duty will not be forgotten, as their benefits and entitlements will be immediately paid to their families.
The IGP has therefore directed the Zone 15 Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Kenechukwu Onwuemelie, fdc., to mobilise adequate resources and personnel and collaborate with other security agencies to ensure the perpetrators of this nefarious act are found and face the full wrath of the law.
As investigations continue, the IGP reaffirms the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to holding accountable those who jeopardise and disrupt the security arrangement and safety in Nigeria.
