2015: Mbu To Lagosians - ‘i’m Battle Ready’ by Demichaels: 2:34pm On Feb 07, 2015
Lagos residents may have to brace up for more
surprises from the controversial Assistant
Inspector General (AIG) of police, Mbu Joseph
Mbu who heads the zone 2 command
headquarters of the force. He has threatened it
will be fire for fire in the coming elections.
“Nobody, no matter the position, will be above the
law, I will shame critics as we are not afraid of
any person, I repeat, anybody who attacks my
men violently, we will respond violently as we are
battle ready”, Mbu thundered at a lecture he held
for senior police officers at the Lagos police
command headquarters, Ikeja on Wednesday.
The warning from Mbu, who came into limelight
as a Commissioner of police in Rivers Statewith
his frequent clashes with the state governor, Hon.
Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi is coming on the heels
of his face-off with the Lekki Concession
Company, operators of the Lekki toll gates last
week.
The police chief had last week ordered the
detention of some LCC officials and policemen
attached to the company after his convoy of six
vehicles was asked to pay toll fees.
However, addressing senior officers of the Lagos
command on Wednesday, Mbu attempted to paint
the picture of a gentleman who cannot hurt a fly.
According to him: “You can see for yourself that I
am a simple man. Very friendly to be around with,
and humble. Anyone who is afraid of me must be
a lawbreaker. I can barely hurt a fly. Anyone who
had worked with me will understand that I hate
indiscipline and will not tolerate a dirty looking
policeman.
“For now I do not have another job and will only
do the right thing to protect my job. All I need is
police officers to know the power they carry and
utilize it properly according to the constitution.”
For him, the 2015 general elections provide an
opportunity for him to shame his critics. “We will
do our best. This is not the first time that I have
monitored elections and so far, it has been
peaceful in those areas and this will not be an
exception.
“We have enough vehicles, manpower from police
units such as Mobile Police Force, Special
Protection Unit, Rapid Response Squad and we
can even seek the assistance of the Army”, he
added.
He charged the senior police officers, including the
rank and file, to keep to the ethics of the
profession and desist from any act of corruption.
“I want to warn policemen against selling their
conscience because of money or personal
interest. Policemen should be prepared to do the
job and build confidence rather than pursuing
money, taking police job like a personal business”,
he said.
Mbu noted that his men should be prepared to
work hard for the success of the coming polls and
be ready to either be promoted, demoted or
shown the way out of the police force if found in
any act of dereliction of duty.
The new AIG said policemen should not allow
themselves to be used or intimidated by any
politician or political party, saying that he would
be ready to defend them when they are on the
right path.
He advised policemen who would be deployed to
polling centres to resist any form of violence,
ensure that they take pictures or video record of
perpetrators of violence and always update their
bosses with situation reports.
He warned policemen against injustice and
impartiality, adding that they have nothing to do
with election results or rigging.
