Mbu maintains 'My men will kill in self defence', says number killed is immaterial

Joseph Mbu, the newly appointed Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Lagos on last Friday told newsmen in Ogun state that he still maintained his that police will kill 20 for each police life lost during this election maintaining that his men will kill in self defense.

The Punch reports that AIG Mbu restated his earlier position to newsmen during the commissioning of the Olorunsogo 11 power station in Ogun state by GEJ on Friday

“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.
