The Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum has condemned the killing of three policemen and a civilian by men of the Nigerian Army in Taraba.
The Chairman of the forum and Governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson, in a statement he issued on Monday in Abuja also condemned the killing of Mr Chimaobi Nwaogwu, a commercial motorcyclist in Abia State by security personnel on Wednesday.
Dickson described the killings as “unfortunate, sad, tragic, wicked, malicious, unprofessional and totally unacceptable” to the people of the country.
“We wish to reiterate that the killings are unnecessary.
“It is sad that a security operative, who is paid and maintained with tax-payers’ money, could turn around to kill the person he was paid to protect.”
Dickson called on the Federal Government to address the situation immediately as it portrayed “signs of inefficiency and irresponsibility”.
“We implore the Federal Government to adequately compensate the families of victims and ensure justice is served on the culprits.”
