I’ll defend my actions during polls –Mbu

The controversial Assistant Inspector- General of Police (AIG) Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos State, Mr Mbu Joseph Mbu, said he and his policemen were ready to testify and defend their actions and conducts during the general election at the tribunal. 

Mbu spoke while receiving the Crime Reporters’ Association of Nigeria (CRAN) Hall of Fame Award for conducting violence-free elections in Ogun and Lagos states.
The AIG said that some individuals and political parties had accused the police of aiding their opponents to win the general election. According to him, the commands under his watch were not partisans. He said: “We conducted elections in Lagos and Ogun states and it turned out to be the best of its kind.
I thank all my Commissioners, Area Commanders, DPOs, senior and junior officers for an excellent job. I have also written to these policemen to thank them for their conducts during the elections. “After the elections, nobody, not even the All Progressives Congress (APC) or Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) called us to say thank you.
They are still accusing us of bias. APC said we supported PDP and PDP said we supported APC, but we are ready to testify that we conducted the best elections in Lagos and Ogun states.
