“It’s a duty we will execute to all logical conclusions. I have never played politics with it; will never play politics with it and I call on other Nigerians not to play politics with it. It is a serious crime against the nation and must be accorded the seriousness it deserves,” the President stated.

He however urged the Police to put the equipment into effective use.
