The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has assured the governor and people of Plateau State that the Nigeria Police Force would work to douse the rising tensions and bring the perpetrators of recent attacks to justice.
Egbetokun gave the reassurance on Tuesday when he visited the state Government House where he commiserated with the State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang and the people of Plateau state.
Egbetokun’s visit follows the recent spate of attacks by bandits on communities in the state that have led to the tragic loss of lives. Last week, the Police Chief had ordered the immediate and comprehensive deployment of police tactical assets to the areas of the state plagued by the attacks and killings.
Egbetokun, while in the state, held a brief meeting with tactical commanders to review strategies employed in the deployment of police operational personnel and operational assets provided to further augment the available security emplacement in the state.
The IGP has further directed the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Department of Operations, DIG Kwazhi Dali Yakubu, to take charge and oversee the operations aimed at restoring peace and serenity to Plateau State.
IGP Egbetokun was accompanied on the visit by senior officers including the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Police Mobile Force, AIG Funsho Adegboye; AIG Zone 4, AIG Zachariah Fera, and Commandant Police Staff College Jos, AIG Nwonyi Polycarp Emeka.
