Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Joseph Mbu has said that the threat he issued to kill 10 people for every policeman killed made the elections in Lagos peaceful.
Mbu who spoke on Saturday after monitoring the elections in some parts of the state with journalists said “Generally, people are becoming more and more mature.
“Also, the statement I made, which people misconstrued, also helped the police because people say, ‘this man has come o, and whatever he says, he means it’, and that instilled fear in them. Go and check all the places where I served, how many people have died? We don’t kill anyhow.
“But you have to instill fear so that people will have more respect for the police.
“Now we have succeeded as far as I am concerned.”
