PLATEAU CRISIS: IGP DISU UNDERTAKES OPERATIONAL VISIT, ORDERS SUSTAINED ACTION TO RESTORE PEACE The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc(+), NPM, has undertaken an operational visit to Plateau State following the recent attack in Angwan Rukuba Community, Nasarawa Gwong area of Jos North Local Government Area, which resulted in the tragic loss of innocent lives. The IGP strongly condemned the attack and, upon arrival, paid a courtesy visit to the Executive Governor of Plateau State, His Excellency Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, to commiserate with him and the people of the State over the incident of March 29, 2026. He thereafter proceeded to Angwan Rukuba for an on-the-spot assessment of the affected community. The Inspector-General noted that upon receipt of the distress call, an immediate and robust operational response was activated. This included the deployment of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Operations, DIG Usman Nadada, and the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Police Mobile Force, AIG Francis Iwu, alongside eight (8) units of the Police Mobile Force, the Special Intervention Squad, and other tactical and intelligence units. These operations were executed swiftly in collaboration with other security agencies, including the military. He further stated that the situation has been significantly de-escalated through coordinated security operations and sustained engagements with the Local Government Chairman, community leaders, and youth groups. Security personnel remain strategically deployed to maintain law and order, while intensive intelligence-led operations are ongoing to identify and apprehend those responsible for the attack. The IGP emphasised that sustained operations will continue until normalcy is fully restored. He also warned youths in Jos against taking the law into their own hands, stressing that any form of reprisal or vigilantism would only escalate tensions and undermine ongoing peace efforts. In his remarks, the Executive Governor of Plateau State commended the Nigeria Police Force for its prompt response, particularly acknowledging the leadership of the Commissioner of Police, Plateau State Command, CP Bassey Ewah, and the decisive role of the Police Mobile Force in containing the crisis. The Governor, however, highlighted the need for structural improvements in security management, including the establishment of State Police to enhance operational efficiency. He also underscored the importance of modern policing tools, recommending the acquisition of night surveillance drones with infrared capabilities to strengthen security operations. Emphasising the critical role of intelligence, the Governor called on the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) and the State Intelligence Bureau (SIB) to intensify intelligence-gathering efforts. He further pledged continued support for the Nigeria Police through the provision of logistics, while noting that challenges such as vast terrain, manpower demands, and the distance between armouries remain significant factors affecting effective security coverage. The Inspector-General assured that he will brief the President and Commander-in-Chief on the current security situation as part of ongoing national security coordination efforts. He called on residents to remain calm, vigilant, and law-abiding, and to support security agencies with credible information to aid ongoing operations. The Nigeria Police Force reiterates its unwavering commitment to the protection of lives and property across the country.
