While emphasising the need for institutions and individuals to respect the rule of law, he noted that democracy as well as national unity and stability will continue to suffer setback in the country’s quest for sustainable development if drastic measures are not taken to check the growing lawlessness and impunity.
I have always said that I treat every Commissioner of Police in this state as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer. All other agencies have to support the police and the CP. “The level of impunity displayed by political actors is such that if it is not contained, it will lead to complete disregard of the law, its servants and agencies and even a threat to the existence of the state itself as an organised authority.”
