"We therefore request the new CP Faleye, to immediately get to work by not only disbanding the Ebubeagu terror squad but setting up a special task force from within the Command to recover the arms and ammunitions the government and it's agents and cronies have stockpiled in the State for the purposes of the forthcoming general elections.
