| "Shoot civilians, go to Jail - Nigeria's police boss warns police as he prepares to save his neck from ICC gaol |
Nigeria's police Boss, Solomon Arase is trying very hard to save his neck from ICC jail. Arase, the Nigerian Inspector General of Police, whose men shot at unarmed Biafran peaceful protesters killing some of them, is frightened by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) resolution to drag him to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Earlier Arase had denied his men shot or killed any Biafrans, but IPOB has gathered enough evidence that would see Arase spending the rest of his life in jail.
Following the denial, Arase has further warned his men from shooting at civilians. He gave the warning in Abeokuta while addressing policemen at the state police headquarters in Eleweeran.
He warned that any policeman who shoots an unarmed member of the public would be jailed.
“Shoot a civilian, go to jail,’’ he warned and directed that any police officer who engaged in indiscriminate shooting should be arraigned within 24 hours of his arrest.

He announced that the Police authorities had concluded plans to construct 25,000 post retirement housing estates for its officers across the country.
