There will be zero tolerance for corruption, abuse of office and human rights violations as there would be strict enforcement of discipline and professionalism among officers and men of the Ogun State Police Command.
Newly posted Commissioner of Police, CP in Ogun State, Mr Bode Ojajuni, made this promise during his maiden press briefing held at the Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.
Mr Ojajuni said the policy direction of the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Tunji Disu, which recognises citizens as the police’s primary stakeholders, would guide his administration in the state.
The new CP emphasised that discipline remains the foundation of effective policing, warning that acts of incivility, indiscipline and misconduct would not be tolerated under his leadership.
He urged officers to treat members of the public with dignity, courtesy and professionalism at all times, adding that internal monitoring mechanisms, including the Complaint Response Unit, X-Squad and Police Monitoring Unit, would be strengthened to ensure accountability and address complaints against erring officers promptly.
He also called on residents of Ogun State to see the police as partners in maintaining law and order, stressing that effective policing requires cooperation and credible intelligence from the public, while assuring that his administration would work closely with all stakeholders to enhance security across the state.
Mr Ojajuni joined the Nigeria Police Force in 1996 as a Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police.
Before his posting to Ogun State, he served as Commissioner of Police, INTERPOL Nigeria National Central Bureau in Lagos and had earlier held key positions, including Deputy Commissioner of Police at the State Criminal Investigation Department in Ogun State and Principal Staff Officer to the Inspector-General of Police.
