Ekiti State Commissioner of Police warns DPOs on conduct.


The Commissioner of Police in Ekiti State, Olayinka Balogun, has threatened to remove any Divisional Police officer who makes himself inaccessible to members of the public.


Balogun made the threat on Thursday while parading 23 robbery suspects, including a 65-year-old woman, Victoria Faturoti in Ado-Ekiti.


He promised not to allow the politicisation of the arrest and detention of any of the robbery suspects, who have been terrorising the people of Ido-Ekiti in Ido/Osi Local Government Area.


The police commissioner emphasised that the suspects would be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted.


Balogun explained that he was quite aware of the politics behind the statement allegedly made by some suspects, pointing out that investigations would be conducted to ascertain the veracity of their claims.


He assured the people of the state that all the dangerous weapons being used by robbers would be mopped up before the 2011 general elections.


According to him, all the divisional police offices of the command had been placed on alert.
