#EndSARS Protest: Return to your duty post, former IG of Police begs Police officers
A former Inspector-General of Police, Tafa Balogun, has urged Police officers to return to their statutory duties after the #EndSARS protests that took the nation by shock.
The ex-IGP’s message was conveyed in a Press Statement he released on Thursday.
Balogun 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 remain 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.”
A number of Policemen have refused to go back to work after the EndSARS protests that left twenty two Police officers killed, several Police Station burnt and armory looted across the country.
