New Rivers State Police Commissioner Reads The Riot Act

The new commissioner of police in Rivers State, Tunde Ogunsakin on Wednesday took over from the former controversial commissioner, Joseph Mbu, with a warning that he would not tolerate any forms of indiscipline and corruption among officers and men of the command.
“I will not tolerate acts of indiscipline from you, the officers and your men; everyone is expected to do his or her job. I expect everyone to be committed to his or her job. I expect total loyalty to the Nigeria Police Force. 
“If you don’t perform your duties, or if you are found wanting in your duty posts, you will be summarily dealt with. I will be going out on patrol to check how officers and men of this command are doing in their duty posts."
The commissioner of police disclosed that things have changed and assured that he will pay a courtesy visit on Governor Rotimi Amaechi at Government House as the chief security officer of the state...
Anyway, the new CP Ogunsakin, who addressed senior officers of the state command after taking over, urged them to continue to be loyal to the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigerian constitution.

“I will not condone corruption at all. You know all these years, I have had the opportunity of working with anti-corruption agencies, which have strengthened me in the fight against corruption. Therefore, I have zero tolerance for corruption. While I am here as commissioner of police, corruption will not be tolerated."
Funny enough, there was a mild drama at the police headquarters in Port Harcourt as a group police officers, especially women shed tears when Mbu inspected a guard of honour mounted for him. They are believed to be those close to CP Mbu who have benefited for all that went down during his tenure.
