Enough of the federal character and quota system!” “So sad to hear and see what hoodlums and criminal elements did to police officers at Enugu. I pray that a speedy investigation is carried out and the culprits brought to face the law. Our police officers' lives matter and we should encourage them while also fishing out the bad eggs amongst them.”
