Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2, Joseph Mbu, has said the threat he issued to kill 10 people for every policeman killed made the conduct of the Lagos State election peaceful.
“Go and check all the places where I have served, how many people have died? We don’t kill that way. But you have to instill fear so that people will have more respect for the police.
“You know how police were perceived those days, but now police give orders and people say police cannot do anything. But with those few words (I said), people are now scared and say, ‘if you misbehave, police are going to react’.
“Now we have succeeded as far as I am concerned.”Mbu.
