The heinous, barbaric and horrific murder of a lone law enforcing officer in one of the isolated spots, whilst having a bath or washing the vehicle and unarmed in Hela province is one of the many primitive acts against the security forces in the recent years.
This is an absolute civic anarchy, a total breakdown in moral and ethical principles that requires immediate government intervention. Police and other security agencies want to be partners in Hela through enhancement of national government’s development policies. People in Hela must embrace the work of the police force, which is striving to instill law and order for the prevalence of peace and harmony.
The people in Hela must, in collaboration with their leaders, identify and hand in the suspects immediately and most importantly, also state their reasons why they murdered the police officer within the next 48 hours. They must also state publicly to accept the responsibility of this killing and all other related expenses, including making peace with the victim’s family.
We demand the Hela Provincial Government and its national leaders to immediately hand over the culprits to face the full force of the law, if this is not appropriately addressed, there is no other option but to withdraw the services of the police and soldiers in that province and allow them to manage their own law and order issues.
