The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered investigations into the circumstances leading to the alleged assault on the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero.
Egbetokun also directed the Deputy Inspector General in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department to take over the matter with the primary objective of ascertaining the true facts surrounding the incident.
The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, stated this in a statement made available to TheIdeal News on Friday.
Adejobi also quoted the IGP as saying that the investigation will also address any ambiguities that may exist as the Police has been inundated with different versions of the incident making investigations imperative to clear the conflicting accounts.
The statement reads in part, “The Nigeria Police Force understands the importance of transparency and accountability in maintaining public trust.
“The IGP therefore assures the public, most especially the leadership of the organized labour, that a thorough and unbiased inquiry will be conducted to provide clarifications while urging organized labour and the public to remain calm, as he has personally intervened to address the issues surrounding this incident.”
Adejobi, who said investigation has commenced, added that the Nigeria Police Force guarantees that it will be followed to a conclusive end, saying that appropriate actions will be taken based on the findings of the investigation.
