The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has ordered investigation into an alleged statement credited to a potential killer cop, Inusa Biu, on his Facebook account.
Biu had threatened to kill at least 200 Nigerians if President Muhammad Buhari dies.
He alleged in the post that Bihari’s illness was as a result of poisoning.
The police has, however, set in motion the process to locate Biu.
The Force spokesman, CSP Jimoh Moshood, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday.
Moshood stated that policemen were under obligation not to make unauthorised public comments.
He said the Nigeria Police Force is a highly discipline organisation with full observation and compliance with professional ethics and decorum.
The spokesman said the comment was a distraction “and absolutely a shadowy imagination of the writer and should be disregarded”.
He assured the public of police renewed determination and commitment to maintain law and order.
