Below is a statement from the police...
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Suleiman Abba CFR, NPOM, NPM, mni, has denied issuing
any arrest order on any particular person involved in the attack on Policemen, or the disturbance of
public peace, at the premises of the National Assembly, Abuja on Thursday, 20 November, 2014
. Rather, it lies with the investigating Police Officers to determine who to invite, quiz and prosecute as
the case may be.
In another vein, the Inspector-General of Police has condemned in very strong terms the unwarranted attack
on Police Officers providing security at a political rally in Oke Ado area of Ibadan, Oyo State, during which
one Police Inspector was shot dead and 5 others sustained grievous injuries.
While ordering a thorough investigation into the shooting incident and the attendant death of a service
personnel, the Inspector-General of Police reiterated his warning to political actors to desist from the use of
thugs in pursuing their agenda. The IGP reaffirmed the resolve and determination of the Nigeria Police to
provide a safe and secure corridor for all political competitors, stressing that offenders of the Electoral Act
will face the full wrath of the law.
