IGP Police Ibrahim Idris

IGP-Mr-Ibrahim-IdrisGentlemen of the Press, you are welcome to today’s press briefing. First and foremost, permit me to on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Ibrahim K. Idris NPM, mni, express profound appreciation and gratitude to members of the general public, most especially public spirited individuals for their support and cooperation with the personnel of the Nigeria Police Force across the country in terms of making available useful and timely information that have led to so many successes for the Force.

The Inspector General of Police on assumption of duty instituted strict measures to ensure that the conduct of officers and men of the Force conform to international best practices and norms, the enabling laws guiding the discharge of their statutory responsibilities and making sure that we carry out Police duties and other responsibilities professionally in line with regulations guiding our operations without compromising our integrity and allegiance to the Nation and the Force.

Consequently, personnel of the Force who use their official capacities to carry out or get involved in any misconduct are singled out and dealt with according to the law to serve as deterrent to others. To this end, the following personnel of the Force who erred and compromised in discharging their duties and betraying the official oath of office were arrested, subjected to internal disciplinary measures and punished according to the gravity of their offences.

This unacceptable professional misconduct are categorized as follows:

He named other members of his militant group.

The Inspector General of Police wishes to acknowledge and commend the patriotic and tireless police officers who are making sure that Nigeria is safe and secure especially at the flash points of the North East, North Central and South South (Niger Delta). Their sacrifices will not go in vain; they will be adequately rewarded.

Admittedly, these remarkable achievements are clear testimonies of interagency synergy between the police and our sister intelligence agencies. The IGP recognizes and appreciates their professional and institutional support.

The process to progressively sanitize the system of unprofessional and criminally minded personnel will continue and will be sustained.
In summation, the IGP is assuring all Nigerians of adequate security and commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to work assiduously to further reduce the rate of crime and criminality across the country, especially kidnap for ransom and other violent crimes. He urges Nigerians to always be law abiding and see themselves as stakeholders in making the country safer and secured.
Thank you and God bless.
