AFRICAN TIMES MAGAZINE
Ladies and gentlemen of the press,
I welcome you all to the first press briefing of the year 2022.
Continuous press briefing creates an avenue for the Police and the
press to interact and also avail us the opportunity to brief you on
the successes recorded by the command within the period under review.
As part of measures to tame the practices of cultism and drug abuse in
the State, I have directed all Area Commanders, DPOS, and Tactical
Commanders to embark on continuous raiding of criminal hideouts/black
spots within their area of responsibilities, while also admonishing
them on the need to remain committed to their primary duties which
includes protection of life and property, maintenance of law and order
among others, also to lecture their men to be civil and polite when
dealing with members of the public as the Command under my watch will
deal decisively with any erring officer.
Here are some of the major breakthroughs by the Command within the
period under review.
