President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan on Friday, declared those attacking Police formations and Correctional facilities as enemies of the people.
This is his first reaction since the Imo State Police Command and Correctional facilities were razed by suspected gunmen in Owerri earlier in the week.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Ola Awoniyi, Lawan said the attackers aimed to distract the Imo State government as well as the Federal Government.
The statement said the Senate President made the remarks on Friday at the capital city of Owerri where he commissioned a road project which was completed by the administration of Governor Hope Uzodimma.
