IG blames policemen over crimes in Aba
Mr Ringim stated
this in Umuahia on Wednesday while addressing police officers from Zone
9, comprising Abia, Imo, Enugu, Anambra and Ebonyi States. “The
situation in Aba was caused by some of us,” he said. “I have been one
of you, I know the problems of policing in Abia and the entire
South-East. I am not here to blame or praise you. I know that the
police have failed the people either because of salaries or other
logistics. Problems of logistics are not new.” He warned that the new
management would not condone excuses. “It will not also condone acts of
carelessness and recklessness, which led to the degeneration to
lawlessness in Aba to this level,” he said.
The
police boss expressed regret that Aba, the biggest trading town in the
South-East was now a ghost town. “This is because of the conduct of the
police who allowed criminals to overrun the city,” he said. He said the
situation should change for the better, stressing that police officers
seeking to reach the pinnacle of their profession would attain it only
with good conduct.
It is pathetic!, its a shame that Aba has become a Ghost town !. The present Governement must also take the blame because never has it degenerated so bad, as it is today!.
Its logical that businesses will dry up because only the living would think of money.
All hands must be on deck to reverse this ugly situation . Its a total shame to ABIA STATE.
