He also warned that the police will no longer countenance any attacks by angry mob on any of its service stations in the region.
“People in Jamasi will be without a police station until they repair all the things they destroyed during the raid. People who go round with cutlasses axes and others and attack the police will no longer be countenanced”, he said.
