IGP Orders Policemen To Treat IPOB Members In Delta As Criminals
Usman Alkali, the Inspector General of Police, has ordered Delta police officers to intensify their efforts to fight the separatist group IPOB’s criminal operations.
“In fighting crime, you may be trying your best, but your best is not good enough because anything that happens in Anambra will affect Delta, especially Asaba,” said the police chief. “You have to step up the fight, that is why you must prepare to deal with any criminality, especially the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).”
He encouraged Delta police to treat IPOB members the same way they would criminals.
Mr Alkali said, “Brace up to the challenge posed by IPOB because it is a proscribed organisation, and you have to treat them as such.”
Mr Alkali, who delivered the charge in Asaba on Monday as part of his familiarization visit to the state, said Delta’s socio-cultural complexity made it vulnerable to crime.
The inspector general promised the command that the police high command would deliver bullet-proof vests, tear gas, and helmets to police officers.

Mr Alkali was informed by Delta’s police commissioner, Mohammed Ali, on the command’s shortage of police officers, particularly in maritime policing.
Mr Ali went on to say that the command has detained 912 cultists, 217 armed robbers, 194 kidnappers, 94 murderers, and freed 87 abducted victims.
According to the police commissioner, the command seized 253 firearms and 8,756 rounds of ammunition from “criminal elements.”
