In response to the recent explosion attack at Nganzai Divisional Police Headquarters, Borno State, on January 9, 2025, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the clampdown on attackers of the police station and police officers, just as the Zonal Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone 15, AIG Kenechukwu Onwuemelie, has been directed to deploy resources for swift action.
A press statement by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Friday in Abuja, read: “In a resolute response to the recent explosion attack at Nganzai Divisional Police Headquarters, Borno State, on January 8, 2025, at about 12.10am, which led to the death of two police officers; Inspector Bartholomew Kalawa and Corporal Mustapha Huzaifat, IGP Kayode Egbetokun has condemned the attack and ordered an immediate and thorough clampdown on the perpetrators as any cop-killers will go unpunished.”
He said, “The IGP expresses deep condolences to the families of the deceased officers, affirming that their sacrifice in the line of duty will not be forgotten, as their benefits and entitlements will be immediately paid to their families.”
According to Adejobi, “The IGP has therefore directed the Zone 15 Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Kenechukwu Onwuemelie, to mobilize adequate resources and personnel, collaborate with other security agencies to ensure the perpetrators of this nefarious act are found and caused to face the full wrath of the law.
“As investigations continue, the IGP reaffirms the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to holding accountable those who jeopardise and disrupt the security arrangement and safety in Nigeria.”
