Police: Our Efforts At Preventing Attacks

The police said on Thursday that but for aborting series of
planned attacks, there would have been a total breakdown of law in
the Southeast and Southsouth.

Force spokesman Frank Mba, said on Thursday: “If all the attacks
that were targeted against the police, military, against our
facilities that have taken place, the Southeast and Southsouth
would have descended into a complete anarchy.”

Acknowledging that the police need to do more to attain a zero
level success for the subversive elements, he said: “The force is
doing a lot at the intelligence level and the operational level. As
I speak with you a lot of those attacks were proactively nipped in
the bud.

“We still need to do more to ensure that we attain a zero level
success for the subversive elements. We cannot do it alone.
Citizens must realize that a weakened police force is not in the
interest of any of us.

“We expect political leaders, religious and traditional leaders,
other stakeholders to speak out against such despicable acts. We
expect the media to take the lead in mobilising public opinion
against such unpatriotic acts.

“The general public should also know the risk of attacking
police stations, and security facilities generally. We are positive
and we will overcome this. We need to work together.”
