The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, on Tuesday visited Plateau State following a wave of brutal attacks that have left more than 100 people dead in Bokkos and Bassa local government areas over the past two weeks.
During his visit, Egbetokun strongly condemned the killings and promised swift justice for the victims.
Over 100 people have been killed as bloodthirsty marauders unleashed mayhem on communities in the Bokkos and Bassa local government areas of Plateau State.
The IGP, accompanied by senior officers, including the assistant IGPs, visited the State Government House, where he commiserated with Governor Caleb Mutfwang and the people of the state.
He condemned the attacks and reassured the governor that the police would douse the rising tensions and bring the perpetrators of these heinous acts to justice.
“The IGP also seized the opportunity to hold 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 Inspector-General of Police 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,” Force spokesman Muyiwa Adejobi said in a statement.
