Legit.ng gathered that the Force public relations officer, Frank Mba, who revealed this also noted that in a related incident, five male suspects have been arrested in Umuahia, Abia state over an attack on a deputy superintendent of police, who was defending the sanctity of the electoral system at a collation centre in Umuahia.

According to him, “These attacks have once again highlighted the risks and hazards inherent in policing our clime, and the need for stakeholders and government at all levels to continue to support the officers and men of the Force in the discharge of their responsibilities."

The IGP has commended all Nigerians, whom, by their words and actions, have clearly identified with the Force by denouncing these barbaric and uncivilised actions against police officers performing their legitimate duties.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously previously reported that the Kaduna state police command, on Sunday, February 24, warned that it would deal decisively with persons and groups planning to stage any form of protest or procession in the state.

The command said the ban on protests in the state was still in force and would not condone any attempt to breach the order with the aim of destabilising existing peace.
