He advised station commanders to beef up security at their stations of command, so as to make it too difficult for any enemy who attempts to attack police stations.
“There are some armed thugs who have decided to attack police stations. We have lost some police officers and guns but at the end of it all now we have turned guns against them, we are strengthening security at all police stations to avoid such attacks,” said the DIGP.
He went further and warned police the police officers who put their interest in money to stop that behavior and put all the knowledge and skills acquired during the four months to improve service delivery.
