In a directive issued on Wednesday, the IGP described the shooting as “regrettable” and instructed the Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command, to commence a thorough investigation and ensure all indicted officers face due process.
“The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to upholding the rule of law and protecting citizens’ rights. Any act of unprofessionalism or misuse of firearms will not be condoned,” Disu said.
He extended condolences to the family of the deceased and assured the public that the Force will be transparent with the investigation’s findings. The IGP also urged residents of Effurun to remain calm and avoid reprisals while disciplinary and legal steps are taken.
