The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, has ordered investigation into an alleged statement credited to a potential killer cop, Inusa Biu, on his Facebook account. The News Agency of Nigeria ( NAN) reports that an online publication  on April 26, credited a statement to Inusa captioned “Policeman threatens to kill 200 Nigerians if Buhari dies.”

The Force spokesman, CSP Jimoh Moshood, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday. Moshood stated  that policemen were under obligation not to make unauthorised public comments. He said Nigeria Police Force is a highly discipline organisation with full observation and compliance with professional ethics and decorum.

The spokesman said that the comment was a distraction “and absolutely a shadowy imagination of the writer and should be disregarded.” He assured the public of police renewed determination and commitment to maintain law and order.
