Against the backdrop of the no-confidence
vote passed on the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, by the Nigerian
Senate, the police in Kano and Kogi states have passed a vote of confidence on
Idris’ leadership of the Force.
Recall that the upper legislative
chamber on Wednesday declared that Idris was not fit to hold public office, and
called him an enemy of democracy.
Reacting, the Kano State
Commissioner of Police, Rabi’u Yusuf said that no amount of campaign of calumny
and intimidation will deter the IGP from discharging his statutory duties.
“Kano State police command wishes
to reiterate our unalloyed loyalty to President Muhammadu Buhari and IGP. We
pledged our total confidence and support to the Inspector-General of Police,”
he said.
The commissioner disclosed that
the IGP would be in Kano today to commission a sophisticated tracking machine
installed to checkmate activities of criminals in the state.
In the same vein, the
Commissioner of Police in Kogi state, CP Ali Janga, said the command would
continue to display its loyalty and unflinching support for the good leadership
qualities of the IGP which he noted has stemmed the tide of crimes and
criminality in the country.
In a statement in Lokoja
yesterday, Janga called on Nigerians to support the vision of the IGP, even as
he cautioned against politicising issues of policing especially now that the
security forces are working hard to address security challenges bedevilling the
country.
