Acting Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has directed the Deputy-Inspector-General of Police, operations, Joshack Habilla, to ensure the arrest of the killers of Chief Lazarus Agaie, the traditional ruler of Bokkos in Plateau.

Idris said those behind the gruesome murder of the monarch would be fished out in record time for prosecution, saying it was pathetic to see the life of any Nigerian, irrespective of his or her status, snuffed out by any criminal gang in whatever name.

According to him, the death of the monarch, his family and orderly, were particularly painful, but more painful when people took to reprisal attacks.

Idris advised the aggrieved to be patient with the Police in their investigation into the murder of the monarch, saying the Police would leave no stone unturned in arresting the culprits, but needed the collaboration of everyone with useful information.

He assured Nigerians that the Police under his watch would ensure decency in the polity.

Agaie was murdered alongside his wife, son and Police orderly.
