The Ekiti Police Public Relations Officer,Mr Alberto Adeyemi speaking on the matter said “In fact, the DSS is shielding the suspect and we are still waiting for them to hand him over to us. The two policemen were fired at and one of them pretended as if he had died and he heard all their conversations.

“Is there any law in the land that says one should be killed for escorting someone to a barrack or command base?

“Looking at it from professional angle, dropping of arms is even unprofessional. The DSS alleged that the victims refused to be disarmed and they had to struggle with them and claimed that one of them was injured in the process. We are waiting for them to produce the injured to confirm their claims.”

The mission statement of the police is to provide safety and security in Nigerian communities; protect and respect human rights, and promote community partnership in preventing and controlling social disorder.
