PDP Says Use Of Maximum Force On Citizens Is Wrong

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed concern over what it Tuesday lamented as the frightening state of insecurity in the country as manifested in increasing public restiveness, violence and rising cases of extra-judicial killings in the  country.

The party’s concerns were expressed in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondinyan.

“The PDP thoroughly rejects the resort to maximum unleashing of state apparatus of power against citizens at the slightest provocation, resulting in bloodletting and extra-judicial killings of compatriots, preponderance of which are never investigated despite the usual lip service of bringing perpetrators to book.

“The PDP believes that the life of every Nigerian is sacred and deserves respect as provided for in the 1999 Constitution (as emended).

“The PDP  calls on the National Assembly and relevant international bodies to take a judicious look into the situation in our country today.

“Our legislators must, therefore, immediately open a system-wide investigation into all violations leading to loss of lives and property in our nation,” the statement read.
