Police will stamp out sit-at-home order in Imo — CP Aboki

The new Commissioner of Police, Danjuma Aboki, has restated the resolve of the Imo State Command to stop sit-at-home order in Imo State by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliates as well as the Eastern Security Network (ESN)

The CP also dvised officers of the Command to uphold respect for human rights in the discharge of their duties.

In his maiden address to senior police officers in the state, on Friday, the CP urged the officers to work to stamp out the order for the survival of socioeconomic activities of the state.

The CP, who assumed duty on November 13, expressed readiness to embrace his new assignment with utmost dedication.

He charged the senior officers to take the bull by the horn in ensuring the security of the state irrespective of how challenging the task might be.

He said: “As officers and men of the Command, you must respect the highest standards of fundamental human rights and the rule of law in discharging your constitutional duties.”

According to him, in line with the vision of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, the CP insisted that the Command must be vanguards of justice and continue to work to improve police relations.

While thanking the IGP Egbetokun for his logistics and other support that ensured water tight security during the November 11 governorship election, he equally paid tribute to the state Governor, Sen. Hope Uzodinma for providing operational vehicles for the command.

The CP urged Imo residents to report suspicious activities in their neighborhoods for prompt action.
