He said the killings have remained persistent.
According to him, “The growing spate of mindless shedding of innocent blood, especially of policemen and other security personnel on their lawful duty posts, has brought a new dimension to the reprehensible state of insecurity in the country.”
He added: “Last May, three policemen were shot dead in Sokoto State by kidnappers, who abducted a Syrian national they were escorting.
A few days later, four police officers were ambushed and killed in Benue State.
Last week seven policemen were reportedly gunned down in cold blood in Abuja, and their arms and ammunition taken, by unknown persons.”
He said the question from every law abiding citizen today was,
“Who will protect us, when even those constitutionally charged with the responsibility of protecting our lives and property have, themselves, become vulnerable targets of criminals?”
