Ibrahim Idris

The acting Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has directed the Deputy-Inspector-General of Police, operations, Joshack Habilla, to speedily facilitate the arrest of the killers of Lazarus Agaie, the traditional ruler of Bokkos community in Plateau.

The IG issued the directive in a statement issued by the Force Spokesman, Don Awunah, in Abuja on Thursday.

Mr. Idris said those behind the gruesome murder of the monarch would be fished out in due time for prosecution as he added that the deaths of the monarch, his family and orderly, were painful, but said it was more painful when people took to reprisal attacks.

He, however, urged the aggrieved to be patient with the police in their investigation into the murder of the monarch while assuring that the Police would arrest the culprits and make them face the wrath of the law.

The IG equally assured Nigerians the police under his watch would ensure decency in the polity but needed the collaboration of everyone with useful information.
