President Muhammadu Buhari and the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force, led by the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, have been tasked on finding quick and lasting solution to the increasing menace of gunmen in the country.
HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, spoke at a press conference in Abuja, on the recent gruesome murder of a serving policeman, Inspector Celestine Oriodovwe, by dare-devil gangs in Enugu State. According to Onwubiko, the authorities should embark on special trainings that would address identified skill gaps, as well as provide personnel with essential safety and protective equipment, adding that the three policemen would not have died if they were putting on bullet-proof vests and protective head gear.
“The fruit certainly doesn’t fall far from the tree. We are also reliably informed that some arrests have been made and that the investigation by the “Zone 13 A Team” is progressing, despite influence peddling from very high quarters.
