AFL Chief of Staff Prince C. Johnson III said the armywill only come out from its strategic position to back the police when those who are planning to disrupt thepeace and stability of the country overwhelm the strength of and capability of the police that have the statutory reasonability for civil stability.
Speaking over the weekend on Truth FM inPaynesville, the AFL Chief of Staff urged those whowould be disenchanted to make use of the legal process and not to resort into violence which has the propensity to undermine the peace of the country.
He challenged political parties and candidates that participated in the October 10 Presidential andLegislative Elections to wait for the NEC to peacefully do their work in line with the constitution.
