The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Suleiman Abba, has condemned in strong term the two pre-election violent incidents where campaign vehicles, buildings and valuable properties worth millions of naira, belonging to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressive Congress (APC) were damaged in Jos and Port-Harcourt respectively.
Saddened by the ugly developments, IGP reminded politicians, party supporters and well meaning Nigerians, that politics is a means of enthroning custodians of the people’s common wealth for the overall benefit of all. As such, it should be played with every sense of decorum devoid of religious, ethnic and all other forms of primordial sentiments.
A statement signed by Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel C. S. Ojukwu, on Monday says the IGP assures Nigerians that the perpetrators of these unaccepted and heinous acts will not go unpunished as the Police will do all it takes to bring them to justice.
