Member of Parliament For Wa West Constituency Raises Concern On Slain Police Officer At Ablekuma
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Wa West Constituency, Mr Peter Lachene Toobu, has raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding the death of a police officer during a daylight robbery at a Star Oil Company filling station in the Ablekuma-Fanmilk.
He has questioned why the police officer was not appropriately attired for the task of escorting a bullion van in his capacity as ranking member of the Parliamentary Defence and Interior Select Committee.
“These are questions the police management must endeavour to find answers to,” he commented.
Mr Toobu emphasized that the Police might have survived the assault if he had been wearing a ballistic jacket and helmet.
He said that the officer should have been dressed adequately and asked the police administration to respond with information about the briefing he received from his commanding officer before to performing the assignment.
The MP also voiced concern that the car might have been armoured because the assailants could not have shot through it without first opening the door.
