In his reaction, Chief Eholor stressed that he is still not sure that Adeoye was quoted rightly but that “if that’s what he really said he is courting trouble the type that will have telling consequences on the country’s nascent democracy.
“CP Aderemi Adeoye of Anambra State Police Command should be called to order or sacked by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Olukayode Egbetokun. Adeoye’s utterance is not proper at this period that our nascent democracy is facing challenges.”
