Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has stated that policemen who took photographs with the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu will be punished.
The IG made this clear on Thursday when he addressed policemen at the Police College, Ikeja during a two-day visit to Lagos.
He said:
“Nationalism
is key. Some officers were taking pictures with Nnamdi Kanu and this is
someone that is challenging the unity of this country.
“We will
not take it with levity. There should be no double loyalty to Nigeria.
No matter your rank, your commitment to the country should be absolute.
“As
policemen, you must be committed to unity, leadership and authority of
government of this country. No double standards are allowed.”
Idris, however, appreciated the men of the police force for their
commitment to duty, saying, “you are important for this job. We depend
on you.”
