The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris has warned policemen to distant themselves from the proscribed Independent People of Biafra (IPOB).

He also warned them to guide against being infiltrated by those who don’t mean well for the country.

He said this in Abuja on Thursday evening when he met with Commanders of Police Mobile Force (PMF) and Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU).

He said: “I am directing you to keep away from people that do not mean well for this country to avoid putting yourselves in trouble.


“Every police officer must remain loyal to his service, government and citizens of this country. Especially those serving in the Southeast. As much as possible, keep a distance from IPOB and other illegal organisations.

“Don’t allow any of them to penetrate you to work against this country in any way at all.

“I know that in the past, some Police officers were seen taking pictures with him. I believe it is not in the interest of this country to associate yourselves with somebody that came openly to say he wants the country divided.

“These are very serious issues and I want the men to keep a distance from them because they don’t mean well”.

On the essence of the meeting, the police chief said: “I decided to arrange this meeting because I believe that in the coming months, the PMF is going to be tasked with the responsibility to ensure that law and order is maintained all over the country.

“We are now in December and from January next year, it would be a period with highest forms of legal and illegal activities and I believe it is crucial that I summon all of you to ensure that your mind is prepared to provide security for this country.


“There are issues that are bothering this country right now, there are beehives of political activities and this calls for professionalism from all police officers serving in this country.

“With the political activities, people would try to infiltrate you to get your support by indulging yourself in unwholesome activities”.

Shut up Idris

Distance yourself from IPOB but continue to collect bribes openly on every road, shoot drivers who fail to pay and assist Fulani herdsmen to kill Nigerians.

What a hopeless country.

iPod slaves come and dance python on this one

People may never still get their self since kanu their human god was send praking by oga bubu

Naija police na kpako

U will not advise those sympathetic to murderous herdsmen and boko haram in the North, it is South East u will open that ur rotten gutter to talk about. This should make people wonder what is the special thing about the better South that scares u so much...kontinu!

GOOD ONE

They should rather continue to partner with boko haram and FH.

Rubbish

okwu iberibe

Useless country

Distance yourself from SARS

The most corrupted IG in the history since independent.....

Tribalistic terrorist from maduigarri, Boko Haram fall on your family, murderer. Useless Police. Na we and una for this country

Has he warn them to distant from boko haram and isis?

Useless man

Not just the police but every sensible human being should do same because IPOB is a cult.

Continue deceiving yourself. You can't take Biafra out of the Igbo man. As long as there is an Igbo man alive, Biafra cannot die

If the IGP said this then it only shows the mindset of some people. What is wrong in someone openly coming out to say that he wants Nigeria divided? Nigeria is a signatory to the UN and AU charter on self determination which has been domesticated into Nigerian law. Anyone can openly come out to say they want Nigeria divided!

Initially I wanted to discredit this tribal issue and discount those clamoring for it. However, it seems it’s promoters are itching and waiting for any opportunity to sensationalize the polity with false narratives. We are stroking a time bomb and urging on a wild fire. Despite the fact that the political elite has consistently shown that at the top the only tribe they acknowledge is the “Green Tribe” or the “Money Tribe”, we have hinged our failure as a direct consequence of tribal inequality and continually creating animosity amongst ourselves.

The leaders and sponsors of these hate groups hide in masks behind their trolls and are quick to escape when their actions, directly or indirectly, begins to bear forth negative consequences. For those of us with anaemsia, the civil war was a replica of the consequences of hate.

Lest not say we were not warned as our emotions blind our logical thoughts. We shall surely reap what we sow. The hate speeches and ill thoughts will surely turn to actions and with actions comes consequences.
