Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo state has told security operatives to ensure that bandits are the ones who suffer casualties in the fight against insecurity.
Speaking
during a condolence visit to the headquarters of the State police command in
Owerri on Tuesday June 15, Uzodinma asked policemen not to allow bandits who
are not licensed to carry guns to kill them.
He said;
“You are the only ones constitutionally
empowered to carry a gun.
“And then you
allow somebody called bandit who is not licensed to carry a gun to come to your
station and kill you.
“Kill them
before they come near to kill you.”
Uzodinma also
announced that his administration would introduce an insurance policy for all
the security operatives serving in the state.
According to
him, there are plans for a welfare programme where all family members of those
who died during the unrest in the state would be compensated.
He pledged to
increase the logistics the police required in the state well and also promised
that his administration would not abandon the families of the slain officers.
