Mohammed Adamu, the inspector-general of police (IGP), has
enjoined officers of Imo command not to be discouraged by the recent attacks on
stations during the #EndSARS crisis.
Adamu, represented by Patrick Atayero, leader of the IGP’s
evaluation team, said this on Monday in Owerri, the Imo capital, during a visit
to assess the extent of damage done to police facilities in the state.
The IGP charged them not to be deterred in carrying out
their duty, adding that all their challenges would be addressed by the
government.
“You should not be deterred by the incidents of last few
weeks, but continue in your quest in ensuring the safety and security of the
people,” he said.
“We came to tell you that you are not left alone in this
challenging period. We have taken inventories of the extent of damage in Imo
and I assure you that government is handling the issue.”
The team also visited injured police officers and other
persons affected by the crisis.
Isaac Akinmoyede, Imo commissioner of police, thanked the IGP’s team for their efforts and promised to ensure security in Imo state.
Akinmoyede also commended the IGP for his visit to Imo
earlier in the month, which he said had boosted the morale of the force in the
state.
According to NAN, the team inspected 10 divisional
headquarters burnt during the crisis.
The police divisions visited include Orlu, Orji, Mbaitoli,
Ngor-Okpala, Ehime-Mbano, Ahiazu-Mbaise, Aboh-Mbaise, Njaba and Anara.
