Insecurity is a threat to the rule of law and undermines our democracy; Hence it should have no place in our democratic dispensation.
The GBA has noted the statement issued by the Police Administration and particularly the steps it has taken so far and asserts that the matter should be followed through by the Police Administration and the appropriate sanctions applied.
Security officers who under the guise of maintaining peace and order attack and abuse and dehumanise citizens must not escape the arm of the law and victims of such brutalities must receive justice.
