Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Renowned political economist, Professor Pat Utomi has warned the operatives of the Nigeria Police Force to stop reducing everything to racketeering.<\/p>\n

Utomi reminded them that God\u2019s vengeance can visit generations, urging them to fear for the future of their children.<\/p>\n

The statement comes amid allegations of killings of protesters by police during the nationwide protests across the country.<\/p>\n

Police have denied the allegations.<\/p>\n

However, in a post on his X handle on Sunday, the political economist said he prayed for the police to realise that the blood of innocent people slaughtered in cold blood and disposed of can cry to heaven for vengeance.<\/p>\n

Utomi posted: \u201cI have spoken now to one person who was arrested and has been released. I want to plead with the police to stop reducing everything to racketeering and to pray that they realize that the blood of innocents slaughtered in cold blood and disposed of can cry to Heaven for vengeance like that of Abel and that God\u2019s vengeance can visit for generations so if they respect not their conscience or justice of a Nigeria with collapsing institutions, they should fear for the future of their children.\u201d<\/p>\n
