IGP Launches Operation Restore Peace In South-East

The acting Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali on Tuesday launched an operation codenamed Operation Restore Peace (Operation RP) in the Southeast geo-political zone.

This was coming barely 24 hours after the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Enugu State was attacked and properties set ablaze by yet-to-be-identified gunmen on Sunday night.

Speaking while launching the Operation RP at the Okpara Square in Enugu in the company of the Southeast Governors led by Enugu State governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, the acting IGP, Alkali said the operation was customized to bring back the cherished peace that the southeast was known for.

According to him, the operation would boost the efforts of police to change the narrative to what the Igbo man used to be and ensure that “all live in peace in this part of the country.”
