The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has decried the attack on policemen during the enforcement of the lockdown order occasioned by the pandemic in the country.
According to him, no fewer than 27 police officers had been assaulted while enforcing the federal government and state governments’ stay-at-home orders.
The IG in a statement in Abuja on Sunday, by the force spokesman, Frank Mba, warned that he would no longer condone the attacks on men and officers of the police. “Many of these officers are still in hospitals receiving treatment from the injuries sustained during such attacks.”
