I was at the airport to see things for myself and with my men and to ensure that law and order was maintained. No single incident within the airport. people were dancing, happy until after the airport premises”, Adegboye said.
The police boss who said the police were saddened by the ugly incident of losing one of their personnel, warned political gladiators in the state to play the game according to its rules and should stop dragging the police into it.
“It is unfortunate we lost him. It is very preventable issues. It is very avoidable. I want to appeal to all our gladiators, political actors, if we play the game according to the rules, the ugly incident would not have happened. This time around, I am talking to our political gladiators generally irrespective of parties affiliations including their supporters.
“It is a simple thing, if there is a court case, this has to be pursued to a logical conclusion in the court. This is to make the job of the police simple.
“Our job is simple if our political gladiators want us to make it so. You have a judgement and you have another judgement, whatever, please, pursue it in the court.
“It is not the duty of the police to now say, go and enforce. The court will direct the bailiff to enforce most judgements. It is the duty of the police to protect the Balif for the safety of the bailiff and the instructions will come from the appropriate quarters”, CP Adegboye added.
