IGP Reads Riot Act to 36 State Police Commissioners

-

Apparently disturbed by reports of professional misconduct reaching his table, even from among Command Police Commissioners, Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris has read the riot act, warning that he would not hesitate to flush out any CP involved in acts of misconduct.

While urging the Commissioners of Police to conduct themselves professionally and handle criminal cases diligently, IGP Idris said, “I expect the highest standard from you. Don’t let anybody buy your conscience. Hold your own; I want you to be very professional,”
Confirming the warning in a statement, Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Jimoh Moshood said the IGP made the statement at a meeting with DIG’s, AIG’s and CPs.

He emphasized that any act of misconduct could throw them out of the force.

Assuring that the Federal Government was ready to address the challenges facing the Police Force, the IGP urged the personnel to change the public perception of the Force and live up to expectation.

He charged them to be very civil in relating with members of the public and respect their socio-cultural values.

Idris also ordered them to embrace the ‘change begins with me’ slogan and ensure that no money was collected from members of the public for bail.

“As you are all aware, Bail is free’, always sensitize officers and men in your commands on this, anyone caught on this act will be dismissed from service”, IGP Idris stressed.

He said, “The law as we know is blind. We represent the most visible arm of justice and we must use that power prudently.

”However, we must embrace change as the only permanent fixture in life.”
Idris further warned that any senior policeman found engaged in any form of corrupt practices would be punished accordingly adding that the era of bribery and corrupt practices in the police circle was over.

He warned that any senior police officer found to be engaged in corrupt practices will face the full wrath of the law and would be sanctioned appropriately.

He cautioned against illegal investigation of cases, unlawful detention of suspects and prolonged detention and urged officers to always respect human rights in the course of conducting investigations.
