The Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba,
has cautioned police personnel against misuse of
firearms during the forthcoming elections in the
country.
Abba stated that arms would be used only in
extreme circumstances, stressing that all police
officers must protect the rights of citizens at all
times.
Apparently refuting a statement credited to AIG
Joseph Mbu, who said “If one of my men is
killed, I shall kill 20 of them but don’t shoot
first,” the police boss reassured the public that
“the Nigeria Police has a mandate to save and
protect lives, and not to kill, contrary to recent
statements in the media.”
The IG said this during a meeting with senior
policemen at the Force headquarters, Abuja,
according to a statement by Force Public
Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, on
Saturday.
“IG Suleiman Abba, advised all officers of the
imperative necessity to apply caution in the use
of firearms, warning that except in extreme
circumstances, arms shall not be used during
the forthcoming elections,” the statement read.
While admitting that there were circumstances
under which an officer might be provoked in the
course of duty, the IG stressed that the attributes
of a police officer as contained in the Police
Regulations, required him to exercise “tact,
patience and tolerance and the control of his
temper in trying situations.”
He observed that the rule of law is the
underpinning tenet of democracy, which he noted
would guide police officers in the discharge of
their roles during the polls.
Abba restated his commitment to observance of
the rule of law and the respect of the
fundamental rights of citizens and residents alike
by all police officers.
He cautioned officers to avoid excesses, pointing
out the dire consequences of abuse of human
rights as contained in the recently released
Human Rights Practice Manual.
He also restated the preparedness of the Force
to provide the requisite security before, during
and after the elections.
