He noted that their training,  uniforms and ammunitions were meant to protect the public and should not be used in threatening,  assaulting or extorting money from the citizens.

DIG Kokumo explained that Police were peace makers,  hence the need for them to work within the ambience of the law.

He stated further that though,  some members of the public had lost hope in Policemen, the misconception could still be redeemed through professionalism,  dedication,  diligence and lawful behaviour.

The DIG ,therefore, called on the Command not to allow disgruntled elements to distract or lure them from discharging their duties optimally. 

Earlier, in an address of welcome, Commissioner of Police in Oyo state,  Mrs Ngozi Onadeko said though, the Command was faced with numerous challenges, the seiged was reducing gradually through unrelented efforts of the gallant officers the
