IGP Orders Personnel To Deploy Force Against People Bearing Illegal Arms

The Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has directed personnel across the country to deal decisively with those bearing illegal firearms.

He urged them to apply Force Order 327 to end the loss of service personnel when they encounter criminal to ensure peace is restored in Benue.

The IGP in addressing these concerns, directed police personnel to engage criminal bearing arms without any specific order as Force Order 327 insulates them and innocent persons from attacks.

He also tasked youths in Benue State to work with the police on intelligence gathering against all forms for criminality as the police will deal with criminal irrespective of their demography.

The meeting was attended by security chiefs from the Nigerian police and other sister agencies.
