The Nigeria police has denied the arrest of
Tambuwal. Below is a
statement from the police...
The
Inspector-General of Police, IGP Suleiman Abba CFR, NPOM, NPM, mni, has
denied issuing any arrest order on any particular person involved in the attack
on Policemen, or the disturbance of public peace, at the premises of the
National Assembly, Abuja on Thursday, 20 November, 2014. Rather, it lies with
the investigating Police Officers to determine who to invite, quiz and
prosecute as the case may be.
In
another vein, the Inspector-General of Police has condemned in very strong
terms the unwarranted attack on Police Officers providing security at a
political rally in Oke Ado area of Ibadan, Oyo State, during which one Police
Inspector was shot dead and 5 others sustained grievous injuries.
While
ordering a thorough investigation into the shooting incident and the attendant
death of a service personnel, the Inspector-General of Police reiterated his
warning to political actors to desist from the use of thugs in pursuing their
agenda. The IGP reaffirmed the resolve and determination of the Nigeria Police
to provide a safe and secure corridor for all political competitors, stressing
that offenders of the Electoral Act will face the full wrath of the law.
