The
inspector general of police has ordered the immediate arrest of a
police officer said to be a collaborator in the attack allegedly
perpetrated by herdsmen in Nimbo community, Enugu state.
As he visits the Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani local government area
of Enugu state, the inspector general of police, Solomon Arase, has
ordered the immediate arrest of a police officer simply identified as
Corporal Chukwu, who is said to be a collaborator in the attack
allegedly perpetrated by herdsmen in the Enugu comminity.
The IGP who was accompanied by Chukwuka Utazi, the senator
representing Enugu North, ordered that the said police officer be
investigated and if found guilty, be prosecuted, and vowed to bring to
prosecution those found culpable of the deaths of the community members.
"I am not happy about what has happened and that is why I have
decided to come and have an on-the-spot assessment of the situation.
"I have been discussing with the senator from the area and
others to enable us find lasting solution to the problem. I have been
able to see what happened and we should be able to find solutions.
"I can assure Nigerians that nobody has the right to take the
life of any other Nigerian and go free with it. We are going to make
sure that we catch them and prosecute them, and we will create the
enabling environment for peace," he said.
