“A\nmatter of evidence and detectives, you don’t need to go in uniform to blow your\nidentity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enanga\nadded that police is an institution of the state which takes all complaints\nagainst the person of the president as a grave matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We\ndon’t need the president to come and make a complaint for police to act,\u201d he\nnoted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
