The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon Arase NPM, has expressed displeasure over continued reports of increasing trends of kidnapping and violent crimes in Zone Six (6) Police Command, despite several directives on anti-crime activities.
In a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja, CP Emmanuel Ojukwu, Monday, the IGP has therefore issued stern warning to Police officers and men under Zone Six (6) Police Command, comprising Cross-River, Rivers, Ebonyi and Akwa-Ibom States to put all hands on deck, at stemming the tide.
“With a view to further ensuring that the order is complied forthwith, the IGP has also put an embargo on all forms of leave, either casual or annual for officers and men in these Commands.
“The Police High Command equally reaffirmed its commitment at leaving no stone unturned to ensure that peace prevails and people go about their lawful businesses in all parts of the country. Members of the public are further enjoined to continue to collaborate with the Police by reporting any suspicious person or criminal element at the nearest Police Station for prompt action,” the statement said.
