December 29, (THEWILL) – The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has directed the immediate deployment of tactical teams and equipment and the relocation of AIG Zone 4, to Plateau State.
The directive was disclosed in a statement issued on Friday, by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
“IGP Arrived Jos, to meet the Governor and the stakeholders, as he orders deployment of tactical teams, equipment and Orders relocation of AIG Zone 4 to Plateau State, with immediate effect”, Adejobi said in a post on X.
However, Egbetokun, who was on a condolence visit to the Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang, said the police have commenced special operations to tackle security challenges in the State.
“We have commenced a special operation in this state and I have directed the DIG in charge of zone 4 to relocate to Plateau.
”We are committed to ending this circle of violence in Plateau and we call on communities not to be collaborators in this evil act.
”Citizens should rather cooperate with the police and other security agencies, so we can deal with these criminals once and for all”, he said
Responding, Mutfwang commended the police and other security agencies for their efforts toward restoring lasting peace to the state.
He, however, called on the security agencies to fish out the perpetrators and be made to face the law, insisting that such a move would serve as a deterrent to others.
”I want to thank President Bola Tinubu, for sending the delegation led by Vice-President Kashim Shettima, to the state.
“It is a clear demonstration of the political will to deal with the situation once and for all.
”I also commend the security chiefs, for demonstrating the commitment to end these killings.
”But we urge the security agencies to arrest and prosecute those behind this heinous act, that’s the only way the people will know that justice is served”, he said.
Mutfwang expressed readiness to work with the police and other security agencies to tackle insecurity in the state.
