police command are currently in
detention for dressing shabbily to
work.
The Assistant Inspector General of
police,Zone 2 Joseph Mbu,disclosed
this to journalists in Abeokuta
shortly after meeting with officers
of the Ogun state police command.
The police boss said about 70% of
officers lack discipline and added
that the offence of the erring
officers range from wearing dirty
uniforms, bathroom slippers,
carrying rifles while wearing
mufty,amongst others.
He said such conducts are against
the code of conduct of the Nigerian
police.
Mr.Mbu however expressed hope
that the detained officers would
change for good within one month.
“What I have noticed is that there
is much indiscipline among
policemen.They dress
anyhow.Come to lagos,they are
more than 50 in my cell”,he stated.
“They dress the way they like,they
wear bathroom slippers,they wear
mufty and carry rifles.This is not
part of police work.They are in the
cell already,they are being
punished and I know my
men,within one month,they would
change”,Mr.Mbu said.
Mr.Mbu said the media made him
popular.
“I wasn’t popular in Rivers
state,you made me popular in
Rivers state. I was popular in Oyo
state.I was popular in Abuja when I
was CP of FCT and when I was
posted to zone 7″
” In Rivers state,you people were
hearing one side of the story
because the other party was richer.
You were not hearing my own side
of the story.You have not bothered
to go to Oyo state to go and ask why
I was successful in the state, why I
was named the best CP by house of
assembly”,he said.
Mr.Mbu has been in the news for
controversial reasons, the latest
being his remarks on Thursday that
he will order his officers to kill 20
in response, if any police personnel
is killed during the 2015 elections.
