Ibrahim Idris, Acting Inspector-General of Police (IG), has
ordered the arrest of the killers of Lazarus Agaie, the traditional ruler of Bokkos
in Plateau state.
According to Don Awunah, spokesman of the police, he said
the Acting IG directed Joshack Habilla, Deputy-Inspector-General of Police
(DIG) operations to proceed to Plateau to lead the task.
Awunah disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja on
Thursday.
The statement said Idris ordered that those behind the
gruesome murder of the monarch should be fished out in record time.
It quoted Idris as saying “it is pathetic to see the life of
any Nigerian, irrespective of his or her status, snuffed out by any criminal
gang in whatever name.”
The IG also said the death of the monarch, his family and
orderly, were particularly painful, but more paiful when people took to
reprisal attacks.
He therefore advised the aggrieved to be patient with the
Police in their investigation into the murder of the monarch but needed the
collaboration of everyone with useful information.
Agaie was murdered alongside his wife, son and police
orderly.
