Nasarawa killing: Police appeal for information

As part of efforts at encouraging a wider and communal participation in the investigation into the recent killing of policemen in Nasarawa State, the Police High Command has established a dedicated telephone line for members of the public who may wish to provide vital and useful information.
To this end, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has appealed to Nigerians who may be in possession of information that could aid ongoing investigation not to hesitate in providing same to the police, promising that all such information will be treated with utmost confidentiality.
Such information can be provided via phone number 07066228200.
It could be by call or SMS.
The police could also be reached by email at policemonitor@npf.gov.ng.
Abubakar reminded the public that an attack on the security forces of any nation is an attack on the entire nation.
He therefore appealed to Nigerians to support the police as it strives to tackle this and other security challenges facing the nation.
Meanwhile, in a bid to ameliorate the plight of the dependents and family members of the fallen police officers, the IGP has ordered the immediate relocation of the Force Welfare Officer, Abiodun Ige, a Deputy Commissioner of Police, from the Force Headquarters in Abuja, to Nasarawa State to enable her effectively and speedily coordinate all welfare related issues touching on the families of the late officers, including but not limited to the payment of all statutory and relevant compensations.
He appealed for patience and understanding of the family and friends of the slain officers, particularly as it relates to the issue of the release of the bodies of the officers, promising that all corpses will be released as soon as preliminary enquiries were concluded.
