Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general
of police (IGP), says Nigeria is well secure regardless of the persistent
attacks in some parts of the country.
Addressing journalists on Friday
after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso Rock, the IGP said his men
cannot be overwhelmed.
Idris promised that the killings
in Benue would not happen again.
“Anytime we meet Mr President,
the area of discussion is how to effectively secure the nation,” Idris said.
“I think Nigeria is well secure.
I have to be frank. I think what we should be praying for is for Nigerians to
learn to live in peace with each other, I think is very important.”
The IGP explained that the
president charged the police to tighten its security, adding that more
officials will be deployed to restore calm and peace in Benue.
“Every time we meet with the
president, he gives a charge. He asks us to take care and ensure that we
tighten our security,” he said.
“Definitely we are doing all we
can to see we maintain law and order in all parts of the country.
“There are so many measures. For
instance, in Benue we are going to deploy more units to support the efforts the
police is making in the state to ensure we have adequate protection to the men
and communities and members.
“Of course we are assuring the
people that this will not repeat itself. I cannot say Nigeria is under-policed.
We cannot be overwhelmed.”
