The Assistant Inspector-General of Police
in charge of Zone 2, Lagos, Mr. Joseph Mbu, has said that there is no
big deal in the number of people policemen under his command can kill in
self-defence.
He said since policemen were also human
beings, they should be ready to take....
revenge on any violent group(s)
that might attack them or other innocent citizens.
Mbu spoke with some journalists in
Olorunsogo, Ogun State, during the inauguration of the Olorunsogo II
Power Station by President Goodluck Jonathan.
“If one of my men is killed, I shall kill
20 of them, but don’t shoot first. If they shoot you, shoot back in
self-defence. Anybody who fires you, fire him back in self-defence,” Mbu
had been quoted in the media to have told his men at the Ogun State
Police Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, during a recent visit.
Mbu on Friday said the media account was mischievous and contrary to what he said in Abeokuta.
He also said that he contemplated
arresting the journalists who wrote the reports to show proof that he
indeed said what was reported.
Curiously, however, Mbu restated the media account he had tried to debunk. He said, “I still stand by what I said. And what I said is very clear:
that if any violent group attacks my policemen, my policemen should
attack them violently.
