Amin Mohammed, Director of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, has reiterated the police's response to the mayhem witnessed on June 25, insisting that only the state enjoys the monopoly of violence.
Amin, while addressing the media during a briefing on Monday, June 30, discussed law enforcers' response to demonstrators amid looting and destruction of property across several parts of the country.
According to the DCI boss, it would be improper for the state to relinquish its constitutional monopoly of force on criminals who masqueraded as protesters. "The State cannot cede its monopoly of violence to goons," Amin declared during a press briefing on Monday, June 25.
The aftermath of looted shops at Imenti House during protests held on Wednesday, June 25, 2025.
