Stop making police wives widows – PSC chairman decries killing of personnel in South East

Solomon Arase, Chairman of the Police Service Commission, has raised worry about the killing of security personnel, particularly police officers, in the South East.

According to the former Inspector General of Police, wives of police officers in the zone are quickly becoming widows as a result of gunman attacks on cops.

According to Ikechukwu Ani, Head of Press and Public Relations, Arase raised alarm over the situation during a courtesy visit in Abuja by leaders of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) chapter.

“You should let the killers know that the police is not their enemy. They have not done anything wrong. The Force have lost quite a number of serving officers in the South East.

“We are your friends, stop making police wives widows, they are your sisters,” Arase said.

He stated that the Commission has remedied the zone’s perceived marginalization in police representation in the country.

Earlier, Elder Onwu Arua, the leader of the Ohanaeze delegation, stated that the association is concerned that people in the South East are not exhibiting interest in the ongoing police recruiting operation.

He encouraged the PSC to come up with solutions to the problem.
