declaring open the Police Service Commission 2014 Retreat in Makurdi,
Benue State. Lawmakers belonging to the All Progressives Congress had just
threatened to block funding for the police.

According to the APC leader in the House of Representatives, Rep. Femi
Gbajabiamila, while stating the lawmakers' reasons for wanting to
block the passage of the 2014 budget, the lawmakers would not support
a police force that kills innocent citizens.

'More importantly, we will not be party to the appropriation of
funds and tax payers money to a police force that will turn around and
use same to maim and kill the same tax payers. No we will not!" he
said.
