MOST POLICEMEN ARE ARMED ROBBERS
The
Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), Zone 6 Command, Mr.
Jonathan Johnson, has alleged that many Nigerian policemen are armed
robbers and get killed daily because of their involvement in various
crimes.
Johnson stated this during his visit to Akwa Ibom State Police Command in Uyo on Tuesday
He said, “If you investigate our men, you will discover some are armed
robbers. Who are not contented with what they have; we go to the road to
extort money from people, engage in illegal business, and liaise with
armed robbers.”
The AIG warned that any policemen caught in anti-social acts would be dismissed.
According to him, “No criminal has lived in his criminality and never
been caught. If you want to live in palava, you will die in palava.”
He accused police officers of selling arms and ammunition to criminals,
aiding and abetting crime, turning cases upside down, conniving with
suspects, and engaging in conspiracy.
He further revealed that
corruption was embedded in the Criminal Investigation Department (CID)
of the Nigeria Police Force, even as he accused police officers of
giving information to hoodlums leading to the criminals killing their
colleagues.
