She wrote; 

For those tags, for those comments... I see everything! That we do not talk doesn’t mean no action is being taken... not so many people are interested in talk but actions! Action speaks louder than voice! We all joined police for protection of lives and property ! There are laid down rules and regulations guiding police operations...whoever violates the operational guidelines must be ready to face the music! The leadership of the force under the IGP won’t tolerate misuse of firearms or any act that violates police ethics! For these ones alleged to have shot some suspected armed robbers! Be informed that they’ve been identified to face the wrath! So for all calling me to action, please be informed action has been taken and now veil taken off them to bear their father’s name! We are not being paid to kill but prevent and detect crime. QED
