· …calls for calm, places Commissioners of Police on red alert
Following
the unfortunate incidence that occurred at a Police Divisional
Headquarters, Yola, Adamawa State, on Thursday 25th February, 2016, the
Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon E. Arase, fdc, NPM,
commiserated with the families of those who lost their lives in the
incident. He urged the citizens to remain calm as the Nigeria Police
Force High Command has directed adequate security surveillance on places
where Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) recovered and kept to ensure
such incident does not occur in anywhere across the country.
The
IGP has also directed all Commands’ Commissioners of Police to deploy
Anti-Bomb Squad personnel of their respective State Commands to inspect
all explosive elements kept in their armouries to ensure they are save,
to forestall re-occurrence of the unfortunate incident.
He
has equally directed the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge
of Department of Operations, DIG Sontoye Wakama, to visit the scene of
the blast in Adamawa State, to condole with the families of the deceased
and to ensure that those that sustained injuries from the explosion
receive prompt medical attention.
IGP
Arase called on the members of the public to go about their normal
businesses without fear as all hands are on deck to ensure their safety
at all times.
