The newly deployed Commissioner of Police in Imo State, CP Aboki Danjuma has assured that the command under his watch will work to end kidnapping, attack on public facilities, killings and other violent crimes in the state.
He further said that the command would, "embrace an intelligence-based, people-friendly, problem-solving, and proactive community-oriented policing that is rule of law compliant and zero-tolerance to corruption."
CP Danjuma who gave the assurances at his madien conference with strategic Police Managers of the Command held at Command's headquarters, Owerri on Friday, added, "my administration will work tirelessly to put an end to the unlawful sit-at-home order that is crippling the socio-economic activities of the State."
He urged the top police chiefs of the command to, "be the vanguard of justice and beacon of hope by ensuring that officers and men under their supervision uphold the highest standards of professionalism, respect the fundamental human rights of citizens, and shun every form of corrupt practice while discharging their lawful duties."
According to him, the current Nigerian Police Force (NPF) is battling with trust deficit, hence, "as strategic Police Managers of this Command, we must take the bull by the horn, aligning with the vision and mission of the IGP to improve the quality of Police service delivery and strengthen Police- citizen relationships in the State.
"Let us work together and courageously stamp out violent crimes and criminally minded elements in the State, most especially the local terrorist group masquerading as the Proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliate Eastern Security Network (ESN)."
