Kill bandits before they kill you - Governor Uzodinma to security operatives

Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma has advised security operatives to protect themselves at all cost even if they have to kill the bandits.

He charged the police personnel not to give the bandits who are not licensed to carry a weapon any chance to kill them.

He said this at his condolence visit to the headquarters of the State Police Comman in Owerri on Tuesday, June 15, 2021.

He said; “You are the only ones constitutionally empowered to carry a gun.

“And then you allow somebody called bandit who is not licensed to carry a gun to come to your station and kill you.

“Kill them before they come near to kill you.”

Governor Uzodinma revealed that every security operative serving the state will be given an insurance policy his administration is putting together.

Also, plans are underway for a welfare programme to compensate families who have lost loved ones in the attacks in the state.

He promised to provide sufficient logistics for the police service to discharge their duties adequately.
