The Commissioner of Police in Abia State , Mr Ene Okon , has warned policemen in the state to desist from criminal activities , stressing that the number of officers involved in crime in Aba , the commercial hub of the state , was alarming.

The CP gave this warning during his familiarisation tour with members of the Police Community Relations Committee in Aba , on Tuesday.

He urged the officers to eschew indiscipline in its entirety and embrace the tenets of policing in the state .
Okon , who said he wanted to return policing to members of the Aba community , also urged residents to always fulfil their own obligations to the police by volunteering appropriate and timely information about suspected criminals as well as being obedient to the law.

He said , “I have a problem with policemen in Aba . The number of policemen that are involved in criminal activities in Aba is alarming.

“Every policeman in Abia wants to be posted to Aba . My question is, to do what ? Does it mean police work cannot be done at Arochukwu , Ohafia , Nkporo, Isuikwuato and Uzuakoli? Why must it be Aba?

“The bottom line is bribery. For those , who have corruption tendencies and come to Aba to destroy the image of the police, I urge you to get ready because it will not work again.

“I don’ t know whether you are not ashamed that you as policemen are involved in crime all because of pocket money . I will not spare you.

“Those that have worked with me know my stand on these dirty and corrupt practices. I know the Nigerian society and , especially the Igbo. If you do your work diligently, they will appreciate you.

“Not when you go and extort money from somebody unjustly , how can you expect something good in your life?”

Okon wandered how someone employed to fight crime could turn to a criminal himself, pointing out that there was a problem in the system.

“You may not be happy, but I ’ ve told you the truth and that is it. I’ ll always tell you the truth no matter who is involved , ” he added.

On the members of the community , he said , “For the members of the public, it is true you own the police and assignus to protect you and your property. So , it is your right to get that , but mind you that you have an obligation.

“You cannot separate right from obligation here . We know you have your right , but back it up with your obligations . You must obey the law , assist and support this institution you have created to serve you.

“If you fail to obey the law , this police you created will turn against you . Police are not magicians . We need your information to function adequately . We cannot be everywhere. ”

The display of opulence in that society will make you hate poverty.

I don't blame them.

I wonder what Aba made police will look like .

Just imagine this!
99% of our policemen all over the country need TOTAL orientation and evaluation.
Some of them are worse than criminals.

Abia State?!.

I had no idea that place was still a state.

That is where the money @

Because Aba is a money-milking machine from the indegenes.
Police is your best friend.

Headquarters of criminals is Aba

More like,Every DPO wants to be posted in commercial city(aba,onitcha etc)not only aba

Oga you wan teach us our work Ok naa, we shall see.

Aba is the commercial nerve of Abia State.Most police officers posted to the state lobbies to be posted to Aba and the only reason is to make more money apart from there monthly salary.

if skull mining capital of Nigeria ogun is still a state ,then kastina or zamfara where bandits can kill 100 people every week are all still a state then abia is a virgin state in terms of crime

Abia state has one of the highest road blocks in the country, each making not less than 100k every day

Very true.

The number of road blocks on Abia state, especially within Aba axis is alarming.

Until Abians say enough is enough, we will continue to get people like Ikpeazu

Nigeria Police is full of corruption, Can you imagine that a D.P.O of police was bold to tell my Dad when He went to bell out some people that we don't have business men that are rich in our LGA, that if it were to be where he was before that he knows how much that he would have charged for the bell out of those people and the will pay it.


But they will still tell the Citizens that Police is your friend and that bell is free
