Be ruthless with IPOB, your best not good enough: IGP tells Delta police

The Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali, has told officers of the Delta Police Command to go tough on members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and criminals in the state.

IGP Baba said this during a familarisation visit to the state police command in Asaba on Monday.

According to the IGP, there are spills over of IPOB members from Onitsha to Asaba, noting that it is why officers must be prepared to deal with any criminal group.

“You are trying your best but your best is not good enough. Anything that happen in Anambra State will affect Delta State, especially Asaba.

“That is why you must prepare to deal with any criminal, especially IPOB group. There are spills over agitation or demonstration from Onitsha to Asaba.

“Brace up to IPOB challenge because it is a proscribed organisation and treat them as such,” he said.

The police chief also promised the command that logistics such as bullet-proof vests, teargas canisters, helmets and others would be provided for them before November.
