The
Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) and
the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) have condemn the killing of
the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Chinwike Asadu, by unknown
gunmen.
In separate statements by national
publicity secretaries of the parties, Alhaji Lai Mohammed of ACN and
Benard Akoma of APGA (interim), the duo were unanimous that no one is
safe if such a high ranking security officer can be cheaply gunned down
in such manner.
Mohammed urged the police high command
to ensure that the killers are caught and brought to justice. “Because
of their onerous tasks, the police personnel and other security agents
deserve a reinforced level of security. They need to be alive and well
before they can protect the lives and property of others,” he said.
Akoma said “Asadu murder sends so many
messages. One would have expected that a commissioner of police goes
with a full complement of police escort. One would also imagine that a
commissioner of police enjoys the protection of his colleagues once he
is out of his own zone.
National publicity secretary of the
party, Emma Eneukwu, said yesterday in a statement Asadu’s murder is a
reprehensible action which ought to belong only to the imaginative plots
of thriller movies.
“In recent times Nigeria has been
enmeshed in several unsolved mysterious deaths perpetrated by so-called
unknown gunmen; thereby making our streets dreadful and our hinterlands
theatres of crime,” he said.
