The Nigeria Police Force has said it will no longer tolerate assaults on its officers and men.
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, stated this during his visit to the Enugu State Command, on Friday.
Egbetokun said any attack on police personnel would be met with an “appropriate response” from the force.
The police boss explained that assaults on police officers were not only criminal but also an attack on the entire institution, stating that the force would collectively respond to any killing or assault on its personnel and ensure that justice is served.
He said, “We will not tolerate any assault on our police officers, not to talk of killing. An assault on a policeman is criminal, is an assault on the IG, and we are not going to condone any act of assault on our officers, not to talk of killing any of our officers.
