The Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Solomon
Arase, has expressed concern over the killing of security personnel, especially
police officers, in the South East.
The former Inspector General of Police noted that wives of
police officers in the zone are fast becoming widows as a result of attacks on
cops by gunmen.
A statement by Ikechukwu Ani, Head, Press and Public
Relations, said Arase expressed concern over the development when leaders of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) chapter, paid him a courtesy
visit in Abuja.
“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 said the Commission has resolved the perceived
marginalisation of the zone in police representation in the country.
Earlier, the the leader of the Ohanaeze delegation, Elder
Onwu Arua, noted that the association is worried that people of the South East
are not showing interest in the ongoing police recruitment exercise.
He urged the PSC to decide ways of addressing the problem.
