The FCT Police Command has arrested seven individuals in connection with the alleged shooting of members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) at their Garki II headquarters. However, the police have denied claims that their officers were involved in the shooting, describing the reports as false and misleading.
The police command's statement contradicts the initial reports that suggested a confrontation between the police and NURTW members, which led to the alleged shooting. The NURTW members were reportedly at their headquarters when the incident occurred. Details of the incident and the identities of those arrested are still unclear.
The police have maintained that the arrested individuals are being investigated for their alleged involvement in the incident.
The FCT Police Command's denial of shooting NURTW members raises more questions than answers, especially given the initial reports of a confrontation. The command's explanation of the incident is not convincing, particularly when it comes to the identities of those arrested and the details of the investigation. The public deserves clarity on this matter, especially considering the sensitive nature of the incident. The police must be transparent about their actions and provide concrete evidence to back up their claims. This incident highlights the need for accountability and trust between law enforcement agencies and the public they serve.
