Nigeria: Ex-IGP Tafa Balogun Appeals To Police Officers To Return To Duty

A retired IGP, Tafa Balogun has appealed to officers of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to return to their duty posts

Police Officers have refused to resume duties for fear of being attacked following the assaults that trailed the #EndSARS protests.

The ex-IGP in a statement on Thursday, November 12, said: “I urge all members of the Nigeria Police in our country to return to their duty posts and continue to provide the much-needed security to our dear country, Nigeria; not minding the recent brutal attacks, arson, and acts of intimidation against the Police.

“The Nigeria Police remains the first line of Internal Security as guaranteed by the Nigerian Constitution. Therefore, it behoves all and sundry not to betray the spirit of the Constitution.

“I sincerely appeal and urge all my brothers and sisters in the Police Force to put the past behind us as the Federal and State Governments, as well as the police authorities, are positively and aggressively addressing the unprecedented provocative attacks on the police institution. We all love you.

“Please, once again, I appeal to all of you to return to duty without further delay.”
