A retired Commissioner of Police, Abubakar Tsav, has attributed the rising spate of killings and other forms of criminal activities across the country to injustice and corruption.
in Makurdi, Benue State, said the lack of adequate supervision by the police authorities was largely responsible for the misuse of firearms by cops resulting in the death of innocent citizens.
“And there is too much corruption. The President is at the national level fighting corruption but not all the people are with him. In the states, the governors are using the corruption fight for themselves. You can see what happened in the last general elections. I thought that INEC was going to include it that anybody, who is involved in corruption, should not be elected.”
“I can see that the conscience of Nigerians is corruption and injustice. Once these things are addressed, things would go on well,” he said. According to him, the police authorities have abdicated their supervisory role and hardly make cops account for arms and ammunition they have collected, a situation that has emboldened them to use guns given to them anyhow.
