The CP stated this on Tuesday at the Command Headquarters, Abuja during a press briefing to acquaint members of the public with the command’s achievements in the fight against crime and criminality.
Speaking on the alleged disappearance of male genitals, Garba warned that no form of jungle justice would be tolerated.
Reacting to the tragic passing of Olorunfemi, a victim of “one-chance robbers” who died at the Maitama General Hospital where she was allegedly denied treatment for not providing a police report, the CP said, “It is wrong for a medical doctor not to attend to a patient that is in distress.”
