The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Ibrahim Idris, has ordered the probe of an unnamed personnel, who was alleged to have threatened to kill 200 people, if anything untoward happened to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The IGP’s directive was contained in a statement Wednesday night by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPROy, Mr. Jimoh Moshood, a Chief Superintendent of Police.
Moshood said Idris’ decision, followed an online publication, which claimed to have sighted the said threat on the policeman’s Facebook Account.
The FPRO said: “The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to an online publication …on 26/4/2017 credited to a yet to be identified Policeman’s Facebook account on the above caption ‘Policeman threatens to kill 200 Nigerians if Buhari dies’.
“The Inspector General of Police has ordered immediate investigation into the unfortunate personal comments purportedly made by the alleged Police officer named Inusa Saidu Biu on his facebook account. Police man are under obligation not to make unauthorised public comments.
“It is pertinent to state that the Nigeria Police Force is a highly discipline organisation with full observation and compliance with professional ethics, decorum, respect for proper behaviour and good manners within the ranks of personnel of the Force, the comment therefore, is a distraction and absolutely a shadowy imagination of the writer and should be disregarded and discountenance in its entirety.”
