Statements made against the NCD Metropolitan Superintendent by regional candidate Andy Bawa have been described as a personal vendetta.
Commander Ben Turi claims his predecessor has a personal grudge against him, hence his call for Turi to be sidelined.
This follows allegations made by Bawa and other candidates, including Steven Kilage, who alleged that Turi was aware of an assault on them and their supporters but did nothing about it.
However, Turi said these allegations are just hearsay – what he did is only be in command of law enforcers who, by all means, will carry out and continue enforcing the law.
Turi states he feels sorry for these candidates however, he has nothing personal against any of them, let alone his predecessor.
He remains neutral in this election and will continue his command as the NCD police boss – to ensure there is a just election.
With the counting period now nearing, Turi says he is not interested in any drama and will remain the commander.
