The Inspector-General of Police, Ag.IGP Ibrahim Idris, NPM, mni has
directed the Deputy-Inspector-General of Police in charge operations,
DIG Joshack Habilla to proceed to Plateau State with immediate effect to
ensure the arrest of the killers of Chief Lazarus Agaie, the
traditional ruler of Bokkos, who was murdered on his way from a farm
alongside his wife, son and Police orderly.
According to a statement issued today by the
spokesperson, Force Headquarters, DCP Don Awunah, the IGP said those
behind the gruesome murder of the monarch will be fished out in record
time for prosecution, saying, this is why the Deputy Inspector-General
of Police is sent to Plateau State. He further said it was pathetic to
see the life of any Nigerian, irrespective of his or her status snuffed
out by any criminal gang in whatever name.
The Inspector-General of Police said the death of the monarch, his
family and orderly were particularly painful, but more painful when we
take to reprisal attacks; he therefore advised the aggrieved to be
patients with the Police in their investigation into the murder of the
monarch.
IGP Ibrahim Idris said the Nigeria Police will leave no stone unturned
in arresting the culprits, but need the collaboration of everyone with
useful information, without over heating the already tensed insecurity
challenges the country is going through. He assured Nigerians that the
Nigeria Police under his watch will ensure decency in the polity.
