The members of the public as I earlier intimated while responding to the Question by Private Notice, are not willing to volunteer information to link other suspects with the murder. We are calling upon them to volunteer in order for us to avert further incidences of armed robberies and murders.

However, the Government is taking the cases seriously and we are doing everything possible ... view
