Nigerian Police Will Not Partner With Outlawed Groups – Inspector-General, Egbetokun Responds To Inquiry On Asari DokuboEgbetokun made this known on Friday during his maiden conference with members of the Police Management Team at the Goodluck Jonathan Peacekeeping Hall, Force Headquarters, Abuja, which was attended by senior police officers from the ranks of Deputy Inspectors-General of Police, Assistant Inspectors-General of Police, and Commissioners of Police, amongst others.
The Acting IGP while responding to a question on whether or not the police would partner with non-state actors such as the ex-militant leader, Asari Dokubo, who recently accused security agencies of being complicit in oil bunkering in the Niger Delta region of the country, said, “Of course, we will engage all groups, but we won’t partner with outlawed groups.”
Recall that SaharaReporters had reported how the ex-militant leader, Dokubo, while addressing journalists after his meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa on June 17, accused security agencies, particularly the military and the Nigerian Navy of being complicit in oil bunkering in the Niger Delta.
