The Inspector-General of Police, Dr Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has warned against deliberate and unprovoked harassment, attacks, and unwarranted killings of police officers.
Egbetokun stated this in a release by the Force Public Relations Department.
The release said, “We will not condone deliberate and unprovoked harassment, attacks, and unwarranted killings of our police officers who have dedicated themselves to securing lives and property of all Nigerians.
“Every of such attack or killing henceforth will be met with a commensurate and lawful force as an attack on a police officer in the line of duty is tantamount to an attack on the state.”
He added, “Evil-doers, criminals, and agents of destruction in Nigeria will know that their offences against the state agencies and its people will not go unpunished.”
