The acting Inspector-General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, has declared that the Nigeria Police Force will not go into partnership with any outlawed group but will only engage them.
Responding to an inquiry concerning whether or not the police would partner with non-state actors such as the ex-militant leader, Asari Dokubo, who accused security agencies of being complicit in oil bunkering in the Niger Delta region, the IG revealed that the NPF under his leadership will do no such thing.
The ex-militant leader had claimed that ordinary citizens cannot garner the resources and technology needed to engage in oil bunkering, especially connecting pipes directly to oil heads to tap crude. Dokubo, who denied having a private security force, said he had been instrumental in quelling the crisis in the Niger and Kaduna axis of the country.All rights reserved.
