He should be sacked. If I were in the president’s shoes that is what I would do. What reason would make him disobedient. The Inspector General of Police is supposed to be the protector of the country.

The president’s order as the  commander-in-chief of the armed forces was flouted. The offender’s least punishment is to be sacked. Also, because it involved the death of many people he cannot escape. As a leader, he should have done what was necessary for the people he swore to protect. It appears like a setup to reduce the population of people who are likely to vote against him. He said it himself and I quote “the killings in Taraba are more than Benue and Adamawa put together.”

President Muhammadu Buhari should sack him for disobedience. Security of lives of the citizens is one of the important things a president shouldn’t joke with.

I think they are following President Buhari’s trail. If he cannot keep to any of his promises, why should he expect so much from them? So many things have happened and the people who are expected to be in charge are doing absolutely nothing. It just goes to show that we are on our own.

I read in a news report that he IGP spent one week in Benue before he proceeded to Nasarawa. I feel the IGP should not be replaced.

If the IGP cannot be loyal and obedient to the command of Mr. President, why should he remain there as IGP? Issues of disobedience should not even arise. He should either obey or resign. Mr. President has not been strict on some issues, that is why everyone is misbehaving.

The IGP should be sent back to finish the job of arresting the herdsmen in order to bring peace to the state. Benue people have suffered   great losses since this tragedy occurred and it is very unfair.

The Inspector General of Police should be demoted for disobeying the orders of the president. This just proves how unruly Nigeria can get. He should be demoted and sent to Maiduguri as part of his punishment because if Buhari does nothing about this one act, imagine what would happen in future.

President Muhammadu Buhari should hear the IGP’s side of the story. In this kind of situation, as a leader of all, you have to be fair to all. I heard that the IGP travelled to Benue, but later went to Nasarawa for another assignment. If really he went to Nasarawa for another assignment, then there is no problem, but if it was deliberate, then the president should charge him since he is ahead of him. This security issue, it is not politics.
