Solomon Arase, the inspector-general of police (IGP) has warned police officers to exercise high sense of caution in handling guns while dealing with unarmed civilians.
Arase gave the warning in Abeokuta while addressing policemen at the state police headquarters in Eleweeran.
He warned that any policeman who shot an unarmed member of the public would be jailed.
“Shoot a civilian, go to jail,’’ he warned, while directing that any police officer who engaged in indiscriminate shooting should be arraigned within 24 hours of his arrest.
Arase also warned police commissioners not to send officers with psychological challenges on assignments.
He warned his men, particularly those in convoy to stop using horse whips on members of the public, saying, “Nigerians are not animals.”
