The call was made by the APC Deputy National Secretary, Mr. Ngofa Oji, today, March 10, at a media chat. He said the Police IG has proven inefficient in the delivery of his duties.

He said Arase did not respond or act on all the petitions written to him by the APC.

"These matters were reported and it shouldn’t have gotten to the point where we are now if the institutions charged with the responsibility to take care of these things are doing their work.
