is enough.

Mr Adamu has therefore ordered the immediate mobilization of all
police operational assets and resources to bring an end to the
wanton violence, killings, looting and destruction of public and
private property.
Adamu gave the order to all Assistant Inspectors -General of
Police (AIGs), Commissioners of Police (CPs), Heads of Police
Operational Units, Squadron and Base Commanders in charge of
Zonal/State/FCT Commands, the Police Mobile Force, Counter
Terrorism Unit and the Special Protection Units.
In a press statement by Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO)
DCP Frank Mba, he stated:” In addition, CPs/Heads of Police
Formations in the various states have also been charged to mobilize
their men and work in sync with the Command CPs in the areas where
they are domiciled, to dominate the public space and ensure peace
and safety in the affected areas.
“The IGP, while noting that enough is enough to all acts of
lawlessness, disruption of public peace and order and wanton
violence which have resulted to indiscriminate looting of shops,
malls and warehouses, damage to property and loss of lives in some
parts of the country, further directs the Police strategic managers
to personally lead and coordinate the operation and use all
legitimate means, to halt further slide into lawlessness and
brigandage.
“The IGP enjoins law-abiding citizens not to panic but rather
join forces with the police and other members of the law
enforcement community to protect their communities from the
criminal elements.
“He further calls for the understanding and cooperation of the
citizens assuring that the action is geared towards ensuring public
order and safety and public security in our communities.
“The IGP however, warns trouble-makers not to test the
collective will of the nation by coming out to cause any further
breakdown of law and order”
