ACTING Inspector General of Police, Ogbonna Onovo, has assured Nigerians of his commitment to a crime-free society and urged them to pray for him to achieve this feat.

Speaking at the force headquarters on Friday during the handing and talking over ceremony from his predecessor, Mike Okiro, Onovo said that the support of his officers and men, over the years, had been overwhelming and that the confidence Nigerians reposed in him will not be in vain.

“Tell Nigerians that I will not disappoint them or fail them. I thank the president immensely for the confidence reposed in me by this appointment and I will not disappoint him and Nigerians,” he said

DIG Ogbonna Onovo
Deputy Inspector General of Police Mr. Ogbonaya Onovo will today take over as the Acting Inspector General of Police, following his appointment by President Umaru Yar’adua.

Onovo, 56, will hold the position in acting capacity pending the confirmation of his appointment by the Nigeria Police Council.

He will take over from Mr. Mike Okiro, who retires today after attaining 60 years mandatory retirement age.

Onovo’s appointment was announced in a statement last night by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Mr. Olusegun Adeniyi.

Born in Enugu, Enugu State on February 7, 1953, Onovo graduated from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 1976 with a Bsc. Degree in Political Science and began his career as an Assistant Superintendent of Police on August 1, 1977.

He rose through the ranks to become a Deputy Inspector General of Police on March 14, 2002 and has held several career positions in the Police.

Onovo was also the Chairman/CEO of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) between 1998 and 2000.

The retiring Okiro, who was the 13th indigenous Inspector General of Police, was appointed on June 1, 2007 and enlisted into the force on August 1, 1977

A crime free society in Nigeria is a nightmare, though i believe it is a political statement.

na today?, this wan don come again abeg make dem check all the failed banks, cos its no new thing that police officers are now contractors. Yeye man, wetin e wan take ensure crime free society abi na the half back police men wen the only language dem dey hear for road block na N20 naira

To ensure a crime free society the naija police force needs to be completely overhauled, minimum requirement to join police force should be upgraded to OND, we cant have graduates roaming the street and primary 6 holders will be in the force. State policing must be encourage so that lagos can set the pace and other states can come and learn from the ideas of fashola, highest ranking police officer in the state should be a democratic appointment and select by the vote of the people in the community and not by the president or IG who are so far away and dont even know the happenings of the community. So that anyone with good ideas on how to perfect the police force and solve crime can come on board and be voted in. As done in U.S.A!

Talk is cheap. Haven't we heard these rhetorics from alll his predecessors before? And haven't we continued to get worse as a society fighting crimes while just about every single former IG of P become multi-millionaire while in office and after leaving office?

Make we hear something, jare!

sorry but the rates have gone up. Traffic stopping fare goes for a minimum of N50 where i am, and thats just for tokunbo vehicles. The higher the vehicle specs the more money you drop.

Can you imagine after giving one N50 he started grumbling that i wasnt reflecting the car i was driving. He even tried to delay me, but i quickly took off.

Can't help but to agree.

gbam.

However, if he says he'll deliver a crime free society, then I'll assume he has the means and "connections" to make it happen.

So we'll wait and see.

Nigerian journalist need to learn gramma

did he pledge a crime free society or assure of one?

no country has achieved that yet, Nigeria may be first.
Re: Onovo Assures Of Crime-free Society by Nobody: 6:08pm On Jul 25, 2009
I doubt any criticism of him will be tolerated.

Neither will his detractors be allowed free rein, like with other politicians. No free airtime for amebo journalists.

get with the game, people.

That's showbiz.
Re: Onovo Assures Of Crime-free Society by AloyEmeka9: 6:17pm On Jul 25, 2009
It's an unfair statement to say another human being looks sinister. If such statement came from a white person, you guys will call him racist.




has a striking resemblance with late Dr Michael Okpara

@McKren

- McKren

Where in the above excerpt did he pledge a crime free society?

He pledged to continue from where his predecessor stopped fighting crime

Yeah right, grin from where his predecessor stopped

and turned a blind eye after his wife absconded with the bank's millions of naira grin

. . . and by the way McKren, you too need to concentrate on your spellings

or use spell check to pick up "gramma" . . .
Joke wink

According to Zebrudaya Okorigbogro alias 4:30,  the only person that can promise to stop all crimes is the man who would confirm that he is the Chairman of the criminals and that they held a meeting where agree to stop crimes. any other person in just ranting.
Re: Onovo Assures Of Crime-free Society by walakolobo: 8:38pm On Jul 25, 2009
The IG has promised more armed robbery in the country, more crimes, more rapes, more 419, more yahoo, yahoo, in fact, he has promised more police brutality.

Does the above statement sound better than the one made by Mr Onovo? you fools.
