In light of the current global security challenges, with particular attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Acting Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has emphasised the importance of law-abiding conduct and the pursuit of peace in all interactions with the public.

Egbetokun urges individuals to refrain from making statements or engaging in actions that may disrupt the prevailing peace within our beloved nation.

He made this call while charging the mobile policemen, operatives of the Department of Force Intelligence, Zonal and State Departments of Intelligence, and officers and personnel stationed at various diplomatic missions and facilities.

Egbetokun emphasised the need for their preparedness in maintaining law and order, with a focus on safeguarding lives and property within the country.

The IGP tasked Commissioners of Police and their supervisory Assistant Inspectors-General of Police to maintain a heightened state of readiness among all personnel under their command, saying this is essential to ensure the safety and security of our communities.

He encouraged all citizens and residents of Nigeria to eschew sentimental sympathies that could potentially exacerbate tensions and disrupt the harmonious coexistence of our communities.

The Police Chief reaffirmed the commitment of the Nigeria Police in swiftly addressing any activities that may encroach upon the fundamental rights of all individuals.
