and members of the public to attend to accident victims and persons with gunshot
injuries without requesting for a police report prior.
He however noted that the police should be informed for necessary action after
attending to them.
He explained that the call is necessary due to neglects and untimely death of victims
following fear of being implicated without Police involvement.
The Police High Command also ordered its Officers not to harass good Samaritans in
this regard, but endeavour to elicit correct facts in relation to incident from them.
This is contained in a statement issued on Friday by the Force Spokesman, Emmanuel
Ojukwu.
The statement read: “Doctors on duty are equally duty bound to treat victims of
gunshot wounds and further inform Police of relevant facts. The safety of Nigerians is
a collaborative effort of all and sundry.
“Police therefore, enjoin citizens not to relent in their cooperative attitude in ensuring
safety of all. While they are also to report any suspicious person or persons to the
nearest Police Station.”
