AIG Joseph Mbu insists his policemen will kill in self defence

Joseph Mbu,the Assistant Inspector-General of Police of Zone 2, Lagos, reiterated his position to newsmen in an interview in Ogun state last Friday.He confirmed that the police will kill 20 for each police life lost during the election, stating his men will kill in self defense.

“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. If any violent group attacks a law-abiding citizen in a bid to cause injury or cause harm, the police should repel and save that law-abiding citizen because we have the powers to do so. If hoodlums or touts decide to be lawless; carrying knives, carrying illegal firearms and shooting at my policemen, if they shoot at my policemen and they are a hundred or 200, my policemen will not be looking at them. They will reply back in self-defence. The number I kill is immaterial because a policeman is also a human being" he said.
