Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has warned that any police officers found culpable in the attack on the FCT Special Anti-Robbery Squad office would be fired.
The IG said “heads will roll” in the SARS should any officer be indicted in the on-going investigations into the terrorist attack that claimed the lives of two policemen and the escape of unknown number of crime suspects.

About 40 gunmen, suspected to be terrorists, attacked the SARS office in Abuja on November 26 and released a number of detainees from the detention facility.

Abubakar had set up a high-power panel headed by an Assistant Inspector-General of Police to investigate the incident which embarrassed the police authorities and led to speculation that the attack could not have taken place without an insider’s collaboration.

The IG told journalists in Abuja during his visit to the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, that once investigations into the incident were concluded, the next line of action would be determined.
He said, “We are not resting on the issue of the attack on SARS Headquarters. We are still investigating and once we conclude, we will take the necessary actions but l can tell you, heads will roll in SARS.”

On his visit to the FCT command, Abubakar said he wanted to personally assess the preparedness of the command to ensure safety of life and property in the territory.
He assured the police personnel in the command of the Federal Government’s commitment to permanently address problems associated with police pension.
Abubakar said the welfare of the police would be regularly reviewed to enable them to focus on the duties of securing the society.

The IG  warned that the police authorities would punish errant officers and men who fail in their duties of protecting life and property.

IG urged officers, especially the Divisional Police Officers  to be open and courteous in dealing with the public, insisting that police stations should be open to all and sundry.
He said, “Police station is a public place, you must allow people to see you, you must be able to see people, you are there to help the public and you cannot do so if you are difficult to access.

“I appeal to all of us to try and imbibe this change that we are all talking about in this country, this change must take place in the police force.’’
Abubakar also stressed the need for synergy among the security agencies in the country, noting that the collaboration would help in dealing with emerging societal challenges.

Meanwhile, the Minister of State for Defence, Mrs. Olusola Obada,  said the Federal Government would be willing to hold talks with the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, in the quest to find lasting solution to insecurity in the country.
Obada said negotiation with the sect had not taken place because the leaders of the group responsible for the incidents of bombing in the country were not known.

Obada spoke when the Canadian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Chris Cooter, and the Defence Attache to Nigeria, Col. J G Savard, paid a courtesy call on her office in Abuja on Tuesday.

The Minister also said it was the desire of the Federal Government to ensure that the violence in the northern part of the country was brought under control and eradicated completely.

She said President Goodluck Jonathan and indeed the Federal Government would opt to negotiate with the members of the sect whenever the need came up.
She added that the country would be grateful for whatever assistance the Canadian government could render in the fight against terrorism and insecurity in the country.
She said, “We shall be very happy if you can assist in the area of training our troops, and also some other forms of assistance that you could give which I would talk to you about. We are hoping that all these things would become a thing of the past.

“Much as we desire to bring this under control, to eradicate it, we also believe that if these people are known, there is nothing stopping us from dialoguing with them.
“But for now, we don’t know them. But I can assure you that the President and the government are not averse to bringing peace to the country and if the need arises, we shall engage them in dialogue; we are not closing that option of dialogue.”

The Canadian High Commissioner said his country recognised the importance of Africa and the strategic role being played by the country in the sub region especially in Mali where efforts were on to reclaim territories captured by militant groups.
He stated that the establishment of bi-national commission between Canada and Nigeria had resulted in increased cooperation between both countries in security, politics and economic issues.
