The newly posted Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2, Joseph Mbu, on Thursday declared that the elections in his zone will be “fire for fire” if politicians play any pranks.
The controversial police boss made the declaration at a meeting with police of the Ogun State Command at its Eleweran Headquarters, Abeokuta.
Mr. Mbu instructed his men to be battle-ready for the election and warned politicians to have a second thought over any planned criminal act.
He said if any of his men were shot, no less than twenty civilians would pay for it.
“If one of my men is killed, I shall kill twenty of them but don’t shoot first,” Mr. Mbu said. “If they shoot you, shoot back in self-defence. Anybody who fires you, fire him back in self-defence.”
He told his men that they were the only authority with the power to arrest, before, during and after elections.
He noted that it was not compulsory for the police officers to greet even a governor who comes to vote.
“You have the power to stop the governor,” he said. “We are in a critical period. We are not para-military. We must be bold and brave. Keep an eagle eye on everybody. We are authorised by the constitution to arrest before, during and after election. Our role is to ensure free, fair and violence free election.”
Mr. Mbu came to national limelight following his public squabbles with the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi while Mr. Mbu was a police commissioner in the state.
Mr. Amaechi accused Mr. Mbu of plotting to kill him and called the AIG a tool of the Presidency. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteSenseless beast in uniform
Mbu, your days are numbered. You'll surely be among the first to be killed. Animal! Are you a killer AIG or protector of the masses? You talk as if you are at war with the governors and the masses. Your end is near. A dog that will get lost will not listen to the whistle of the hunter. A drum that sounds abnormally too high is getting close to being bursted. Bastard!
ReplyDeletebut why make such unguarded utterances now. this man is just a power drunk clown
ReplyDeleteMay God save Nigeria, anyway he did not say the constitution allows them to kill.
ReplyDeleteBastard man, no wonder u r a controversal police.
ReplyDeleteYou see! Everybody has peculiar trait! In every society, people know who is fit to destroy and destroy perfectly; and who has the ability to construct and construct perfectly for the betterment of humanity. I pray and act benevolently so that people can associate me with the latter.
ReplyDeleteGood talks from previous contributors...
ReplyDeletebravo mbu!! if don't want me harm you the more don't harm, i beliv in retaliation just like mbu. if any group try to kill a police man let the whole group be killed. Mbu is only giving a warning of his response if any body dare the security men.
ReplyDeleteAn eye for an eye, tit for tat. if u harm me I harm you with more agresive patern.
ReplyDeleteY don't you go and rescue chibok girls. animal
ReplyDeleteThank you my person. Let him go and kill all the book who'd kill policemen and destroyed police station.
DeleteIn a civilized society, this fool would not serve in the police force. He is ignorant, uncivilized, poorly trained, and plainly stupid. Does anyone supervise this mans work? If yes, why has he not yet been fired?
DeleteHow many Boko Haram has he killed for all the police men that have been killed? He can only brag with innocent citizens that bear no arms.
ReplyDeleteMbu again ooo, IG pls move him to BH zone!

ReplyDeleteMost of u guys sounds like political thugs ready to unleash mayhem to the general public. If u don't kill a policeman, will the police kill u? This warning is to miscreants, except u guys are one otherwise stop commenting like miscreants after all the warning was meant for miscreants and not for the decent ones.
ReplyDeleteY must a bloody civilian kill a security personnel? But try n shoot d person shot u.
ReplyDeleteI am quite sure that is only I say only in Nigeria can a law enforcement officer can ever talk like this without facing any consequences I pity this country if this is a true statement from a so called AIG.
ReplyDeleteAIG mbu mumu man cos u are priviledge to be in authority you talk without thinking you will use the blood of children not masses.ur children nai u go kill ooo no bi we masses.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this man is a police officers. He needs to be sack for that comment. Odering your men to kill those that pay your salary...this is insane.
ReplyDeletedat means if one person kill a police man you will kill 19 lnnocent citizen without investigation .shame to jona for harbouring criminals as hi officers.
ReplyDeleteMotorpark Thug in Nigeria Police Uniform,what a shame!!!
ReplyDeleteThis man, Mbu should go and test his professional skill with boko haram and not with defenseless civilians.
ReplyDeleteWell, it feels bad now to hear him say don't kill, unless u want many others to be victims.
ReplyDeletebe warned all dis foolish cowards,but it feels gud a police officers life to be taken. Hmmmn, d same warning went to his fellow officers. Whether u like it or not no more killing of officer on official duties.. They have same right to life. And constituted powers to guard and save guard their lifes and DAT of others . Incase u don't know its to make our minds refuse to take up arms in support of violence to disrupt the peace of d society.
