The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Olatunji Disu has undertaken a high-level operational visit to Plateau State, directly inspecting affected communities and issuing a stern, uncompromising vow to hunt down and bring all perpetrators of recent killings to justice.
The visit marks a direct escalation of the force’s response to restore stability in the region, reassuring residents that the security apparatus is fully mobilized to protect lives and property.
Moving beyond boardroom briefings, the IGP toured critical flashpoint areas to evaluate security gaps and assess the deployment of personnel on the ground.
During interactions with local stakeholders and traditional leaders, the police chief emphasized that anyone found culpable, regardless of status or background, will face the full wrath of the law.
During the visit, Disu said, “I am on the Plateau to discuss issues concerning the killings in Mangu and other parts of the state.
“We are not happy with the situation, and I can assure you we have made some arrests.
“Having gone round and engaged with stakeholders to have lasting solutions to the problem, I can assure you to have hope and confidence in the police, and we will continue working together in synergy and collaboration for a secure environment.”
“The police will work closely with the Plateau State government, other security agencies and local communities to address the security challenges confronting the state.
“We are intensifying community engagement and intelligence gathering to identify threats early, protect vulnerable communities and bring perpetrators to justice,” he said.
Disu added that, “Building trust between security personnel and communities is important, and I urge the residents to provide credible and timely information to enable security agencies to prevent attacks and apprehend criminals.”
Additional tactical assets, intelligence personnel, and mobile police units have been ordered into the zone to lock down vulnerable areas and preempt further attacks
