Protect Yourself Against Attacks, IGP Adamu To Police Officers

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, has urged police officers across the country to protect themselves against attacks.

 

Adamu stated this during a visit to the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, Abuja, on Friday, October 30.

 

According to the police chief, officers must protect themselves because they are humans and also have rights. Adamu condemned the #ENDSARS protest and said the demonstration was an attack targeted at the police to demoralise officers.

He said:

“The unity of this country lies in the support that is given to police officers because if you are demoralised, the tendency is for criminals to take over the public space and the country is relying on us to make sure that the public space is not taken over by the criminals. So no amount of provocation, no amount of insult would make us shy away from our responsibilities.

“In as much as we are aware that the government is behind us; so, we would encourage you to keep performing your duties. We would encourage you to be professional, to be civic, but if anybody touches you, if anybody comes to assault you, you can also protect yourself.

“When we talk of human rights, the police are human; so, the rights of police officers would also be protected,” Adamu said.
