The Inspector General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun has condemned the killing of a police inspector by some soldiers during their invasion of the headquarters of the Adamawa State Police Command, last week.
The soldier killed the police officer on November 21 while on duty in his post.
Egbetokun during his visit to the state police headquarters on Tuesday describe the action of the soldiers as a terrorists’ attack. He said the soldiers operated in the manner bandits operate in the country, noting that the attacks were ‘unwarranted and barbaric’.
The police said such event should not recur because it is capable of dampening the morale of police officers working in the country
The police IGP said, “I believe this is going to be the last time it will happen in Nigeria.
“These people came like bandits and carried out the attacks on our facility in a manner similar to an invasion by Boko Haram terrorists.
“Inspector Jacob Daniel was an officer on duty at the quarter guard on Wednesday last week when he was murdered, following an invasion on this headquarters by some recalcitrant soldiers, in an attack that was unwarranted, carried out in a manner reflecting the activities of Boko Haram by their invasion on this facility.
“I am in your midst this afternoon to share the grief that you have. I learnt that he was an officer who was committed to his duty. He always demonstrated the highest level of dedication to duty. But unfortunately, we lost him to the attacks that were unwarranted and barbaric.”
