Five
policemen, serving in Imo State police command, including the armourer
of New Owerri police division, are now in detention over how one of the
AK-47 rifles officially issued for guard duties, ended up in the hands
of dare devil kidnappers operating in the state. Giving a graphic
account of how the police recovered the weapon from fleeing kidnappers,
Katsina said the command’s Ambush Squad
gave a hot chase to a gang of kidnappers and in the process, they
abandoned the gun in their operational vehicle and ran away. According
to the CP, all the police officers, including the armourer, arrested in
connection with the sordid finding are now facing orderly room trial
Katsina said policemen are given weapons to protect the citizens and
not to use it to terrorize the people they are supposed to protect.
