The signal ordered all officers and personnel in the state to remain in their barracks until further notice, warning that any official or personnel who violated the order shall be disciplined.

“Given the prevalent security situation in Enugu State, the Commissioner of Police has ordered, with immediate effect, that all Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers, Heads of Department, Heads of Tactical Units in the state and the officers and personnel are, hereby, confined to barracks until further notice.

“Any officer who violates this shall be isolated for severe disciplinary action. Make this subject of lecture to your personnel, and confirm compliance by return signal,” the signal stated.
