ABUJA –Â Alhaji Abubakar Tsav, a former Commissioner of Police, Lagos and Kano states, has written to the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukkur Buratai, over the abduction, murder and recovery of Major General Idris Alkali (rtd) remains in Dura-Du area of Plateau state.
In the letter sighted on Sunday, Tsav observed that what happened in Dura-Du district had enough weight to replicate the reprisal in Odi and Zaki Biam.
Describing the murder of Gen. Alkali, a serious temptation, capable of eroding oneâ€
s faith in the protection of the Nigerian project, however, Tsav hailed Buratai for not toeing the path of reprisal over the demise of Alkali.
Tsav further urged the Army chief not to be deterred by the murder of Alkali and urged him not to give up in his efforts to make Nigeria a peaceful entity.
The letter reads in parts: “I appeal to you to use your good offices to impress on all the relevant security agencies never to relent, until justice is done to the late Army General by ensuring all the perpetrators fingered in the heinous act are arrested and prosecuted.  Â
“The sad incident is a serious temptation, capable of eroding your faith in the protection of your fatherland. But I plead it should rather rekindle your determination. We all know, your exemplary leadership of the counter-insurgency operations and Nigerian Army has proved convincingly of a rebranded Army and troops.
“The Army have executed this national assignment with dedication, patriotism, selflessness, uncommon determination and countless sacrifices to the admiration of Nigerians.”
“As a retired officer of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) I know exactly, the burden of policing and securing Nigeria from destructive forces. “Therefore, I have no iota of doubt about the enormous and daunting challenges, which assailed you and the Nigerian troops in the course of tackling Boko Haram insurgency and similar insurrections.
