Attacks on INEC, police facilities can lead to terrorism in Southeast – Shehu Sani

Shehu Sani, former Kaduna Central Senator has reacted to the attacks on Police formations and facilities of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in the Southeast.

Sani warned that such attacks would lead to anarchy, terrorism and disorder in the Southeast.

In a tweet, the former lawmaker urged people of the Southeast to resist such attacks.

He pointed out that the Southeast may find itself in the situation of the North if the attacks on Police and INEC facilities continue.

Sani said, “The attacks on Police formations and INEC facilities in the southeast must be resisted by the people of the South-East; to prevent the region from finding itself in the situation of the North East.

“Crippling law enforcement is a prelude to anarchy, Terrorism and disorder.”

Just yesterday, unknown gunmen attacked INEC headquarters and the B Division police station in Awka, Anambra State.

Men of the ‘B’ division police station, however, repelled the gunmen.

Lately, government establishments have been targeted by gunmen in the Southeast.
