Surely some of these falls undervthe jurisdiction of the military, How about summoning those other ones too? Along with the DSS who are supposed to be our listening posts on security issues, gathering intelligence and acting in liaison with this other armed forces to get the perpetrators before they strike.
ReplyDeleteWhen are we going to dump witch hunting for genuine interest of the nation and perform accordingly?
When?
I don't think inviting IGP to answer for these is wrong. If we are practising democracy let us abide by it, if we not, then let the military take over let us know we are having a dictatorship. If IGP is not having the backing of President, who is he not to honour an invitation of the National Assembly. Is he bigger that COAS and other service chiefs?
