Police Officers To Face Sanctions Over Attack On Stations
The acting Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, in Jos has warned that the Force would henceforth hold officers responsible for attacks on police formations in their domains.
Abubakar said this in an address at the graduation of Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs) to Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) Promotion Course in Jos.
He warned that the leadership of the Force would no longer tolerate officers running away from criminals.
Abubakar, who was represented by the DIG “E” Department, Abdulrahman Akano, said that his goal was to make officers and men of the Force “more competent, more confident and more efficient” in the art of modern policing.
According to him, the attendance of the ACPs to DCPs course is in line with the police reform programme which tied promotion from constable to DCP to the successful completion of certain courses.
He expressed regret that the exploitation of the dividends of democracy had made many Nigerians to overstretch their “new found rights” to the point of constituting threats to national security.
The Police chief pointed out that the climate, direction and methods of policing were rapidly changing, and challenged officers and men to change with the new trends by being mentally and professionally prepared to effectively police the nation.
He said his vision was to make Nigeria safer and more secure for economic development and growth, to create a safe and secure environment for all law-abiding people.
The IG pledged to partner with other security agencies and the public to reform national security as well as address root causes of crimes through investigation and punishment in a fair, just and professional manner.
The IG said that he had declared a state of emergency in training and made it a central focus under his leadership, as well as constituted eight committees to appraise the needed reforms in the Force.
Abubakar announced that about 20,000 officers, who were due for promotion, would be promoted, pointing out that he was collaborating with the Police Service Commission to ensure that promotions were released without undue delay.
Earlier, Commandant, Police Staff College, AIG John Morenike, expressed disgust at the current “total or near lack of confidence in the ability of Nigeria Police to contain contemporary security challenges particularly, the Boko Haram menace”.
Morenike thanked the IG for approving N15 million for the hotel accommodation of the participants, saying the ongoing massive renovation and construction works in the college would make successive participants comfortable.
The ACP to DCP Promotion Course 2/2012 has 96 participants comprising 92 male and four female officers.
