Biafra: IGP To Punish Police Officers For Taking Photographs With Nnamdi Kanu

The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has revealed that the police officers that took photographs with the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra leader, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu will be punished.

The police IG made this revelation on Thursday, August 3, when he addressed policemen at the Police College, Ikeja during a two-day visit to Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial city.

According to him,“Nationalism is key. Some officers were taking pictures with Nnamdi Kanu and this is someone that is challenging the unity of this country.

“We will not take it with levity. There should be no double loyalty to Nigeria. No matter your rank, your commitment to the country should be absolute.

“As policemen, you must be committed to unity, leadership and authority of government of this country. No double standards are allowed.”

The Inspector General of Police, applauded the policemen for their commitment to duty, saying, “you are important for this job. We depend on you.”

IGP Idris noted that 10,000 more personnel had been recruited and undergoing training to boost the nation’s police, adding that additional 88 area commands would be created to boost operational efficiency.

In his words, “We are waiting for approval from the PSC for the 88 new area commands and by extension, this means we are going to have more assistant commissioners of police.

“This will also create room for more chief superintendents of police to be promoted. Do your best in your duties and you will be promoted.

“We are changing the face of policing in Nigeria, policemen that are people-oriented with the satisfaction of the citizens as the primary focus.”
