The Inspector General of Police, IGP Ibrahim Idris has set up a 27-man committee saddled with the responsibility of offering solutions to tackle cattle rustling.
The committee, which is headed by the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Animal Branch, AIG Charles Ugomuoh and members drawn from all the affected states, and ECOWAS, is a standing committee, and was tasked to draw up policies and strategies to handle the issue of cattle rustling.
Also, the IGP has directed a high powered investigation team to unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of DSP Mohammed Alkali and others missing.
The IGP condoled with the families for the great loss.
The IGP also expressed satisfaction in the performance of the police officers deployed in the re-run parliamentary elections in Rivers State held on Saturday, December, 10 2016.
The IGP noted that “there is no doubt that some disgruntled elements in the state attempted to foist violence and insecurity on the populace that are generally peace loving. Comparatively, the re-run election was a huge success in contrast to past elections in the state that were usually characterized by violence and wanton destruction of lives and property.
“The IGP master plan on election security will continue to be improved upon for future elections in the country. This master plan will usher in credible, fair, free and acceptable elections in accordance with the principles of democratic policing and international best practices.”
