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.

Mbu spoke on Saturday at the state’s Command Headquatres after monitoring the election in some parts of the state with some journalists.

In the convoy were also riot policemen from Zone 2.

The entourage covered the Ikeja, Agege, Alimosho, Somolu, Ogudu, Yaba, Lagos Island, Gbagada areas of Lagos State, among others.

There was no chaos or fight in all the areas as residents cheered the police team.

However, three people were arrested along the Ikeja GRA for moving around in their cars, while a passerby, who attempted recording the scene, was equally apprehended.

His smartphone was smashed on the ground by a policeman.

A vehicle, which number plate was also covered, was intercepted along the road and searched by the team, but no incriminating material was found.

The cover was later removed.

Also visited were police headquatres and collation centres.

At the end of the tour, Mbu lauded the courage of policemen in the state and the orderly conduct of the election.

Asked what was responsible for the peaceful conduct of the elections, Mbu said, “Generally, people are becoming more and more mature, sensitive and reasonable.

He said, “And anyway, the statement I made, which generated a lot of (controversy); people misconstrued it all over, but that also helped the police because people say, ‘this man has come o and whatever he says, he means it’, and that also instilled fear in them.

“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.”

Which part of Naija u dey?

Wash wash...softlanding signals

No matter what your tactics are mr mbu, people like you should not be allowed to wear police uniform. It is only in Nigeria that you can make such inflammatory comments and still get away with it....A clown/terrorist that should be cooling off in Kirikiri...

Unfortunately, nothing differentiates your aim from that of a terrorist whose aim is to instill fear in people's mind. I expect an AIG to know for sure that death threats do not deter crimes.

Mbu, in the coming days, you must be the first to drown in the lagos lagoon for your numerous atrocities against the APC.

Don't mind him. He'll surely be made to understand that power has changed hands, that it's no more business as usual.
