…As CP Aboki Danjuma embarks on checkpoints inspection
The checkpoints inspection team of Imo State Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma has arrested seven personnel of the Command for various infractions, including extortion of motorists and passengers.
This disclosure was contained in a Press Statement by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Henry Okoye, and made available to The Statesman in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
According to the Statement, the inspection of checkpoints and subsequent arrest of erring officers was as a result of renewed effort to entrench professionalism, discipline, and public confidence in police operations.
It disclosed that the inspection followed reports and complaints from members of the public concerning alleged acts of extortion, harassment, and other forms of unprofessional conduct by some police personnel on field duties.
“During the tour, CP Danjuma addressed officers at various duty posts, reiterating the core values of modern policing — discipline, integrity, and respect for human rights. He issued a stern warning that any officer found engaging in extortion, intimidation, or misconduct will face strict disciplinary action, including dismissal and possible prosecution.
“In an open and reassuring engagement, the CP also interacted with several motorists and commuters, urging them not to give money to any police officer on duty or surrender their mobile phones for unauthorized searches. He emphasized that such acts are unlawful, unethical, and will not be tolerated.
‘To strengthen accountability and promote public confidence, CP Danjuma personally distributed the emergency contact numbers of the Command’s X-Squad and Complaint Response Unit (CRU), encouraging the public to report any misconduct through these channels. He assured that all reports will be treated promptly, professionally, and with full confidentiality.
Appropriate disciplinary measures have been initiated in line with established procedures, and further updates will be communicated in due course.
“CP Danjuma reaffirmed that the Imo State Police Command under his leadership remains committed to restoring public trust and building a police force anchored on integrity, justice, and service to the people.
