Marafa said this in on Tuesday, October 18, 2016 in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State when he visited the state police command.

Continuing, the AIG said: “I have received many cases of loss of firearms and any officer who is careless with this will be punished.
“The concerned case would be reviewed and anyone found guilty will be charged to court and be made to pay for the government property he lost.
“Police personnel should place their rifles on-guard so that it would be well protected and secured,” he said.
Marafa also said: “The rights of the citizens should also be protected as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
