Against impression earlier reflected as questions trickled into The DEFENDER on what authorities of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) have done about arresting killers of Harira Jibril, the pregnant woman, who was killed in Orunba North Local Government Area of Anambra State Sunday 22nd May 2022, the state Police Command has asked for people to be a little more patient with it.
Responding to The DEFENDER’s enquiry as to what has been done, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Anthony Tochukwu Ikenganyia, started by dismissing the media tagging of ‘unknown gunmen’ for Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) members killing people.
Although he did not mention IPOB in the media chat, he said, “There is nothing like unknown gunmen. They are known criminals”.
The Command’s Spokesman then proceeded to answering the question asked, “Be patient with us. We don’t want to disclose some of our strategies. Let them know that the Command is not folding its hands in unmasking these killers.”
Continuing he said: “These things are intelligence driven and there are already eyewitnesses. In due time, we will let Nigerians know as we will bring all the perpetrators to book.
“Please, help us to tell Nigerians that a lot is being done,” he said in an online voice communication with The DEFENDER in the early afternoon of Wednesday June 1, 2022.
