Samuel wrote on Twitter:
“Dear Governor Udom Emmanuel, please take urgent and strident measures to curb the killing of law enforcement personnel in your state. If their morale is further weakened, we will be at the mercy of criminals. Do whatever is necessary to curb this ugly trend.”
Recall that Akwa Ibom governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, recently condemned the attacks on security assets within the state, promising to ensure that his administration deploys all available resources at its disposal towards ensuring that normalcy returns soon.
The governor made the comment on Monday, May 10 during the meeting of the Executive Council of the Akwa Ibom government held at the executive council chambers in Government House, Uyo, the state capital.
Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with Legit.ng, Ibrahim Idris Kpotun, a former Inspector General of Police (IGP), said the attacks on policemen and police stations have worsened the security crisis in Nigeria.
The former IGP said there is a need to study the attack on policemen, adding that the new trend is very dangerous.
