The Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, Aboki Danjuma has issued a firm warning banning all police tactical teams in the state from using unmarked vehicles, including mini buses and tricycles (Keke), for patrols across the state.
Danjuma, the state commissioner of police, said the warning is consequent on numerous complaints of harassment, intimidation, extortion, etc, by some tactical officers operating in unapproved vehicles while on routine patrols.
He described the modus operandi of the tactical teams as grossly unprofessional, and warned that any team found violating this directive would face immediate sanctions.
He vividly warned that commanders of such teams would be vicariously held liable and would bear the consequences of the unprofessional acts of the tactical teams.
Danjuma further reminded them that the command under his watch is committed to upholding professionalism, accountability, and ethical policing standards in line with the vision of the Inspector General of Police.
To this he said that all units are directed to comply strictly, and that members of the public are encouraged to report any act of violations.
