--continuation--
The police force has been thrown into confusion since Mike's abduction by Danger-kelv. A petittion has been written by a faction of junior police officers in Lagos state to the inspector General of police in Abuja requestion for a change in heirachy. They want a new police commissioner in the state and new DPO in every police station, on claims that the security of the police is not guaranteed, they threatened to go on strike if their requests are not granted.
"Can anyone tell me what the problem is? I came on board just week ago and the structures I met on ground are perfectly okay, so why are we not making a headway?
The under fire police commissioner who just took over under a week ago asked his colleagues in an emergency meeting involving the top police officers in the state Headquarters in preparation for the meeting the the Inspector General of police who flew into Lagos state in the early hours of the day and had since gone into a behind closed door meeting with the state governor.
In attendance inside the commissioner of police were, Inspector Clement, the supritendent of police, the assistant supritendent of police, the public relation officer, and the commissioner himself.
"To say the truth sir, I can't explain." The police supritendent replied.
"That is all you say, you can't explain. Why will you explain? When you are always in your office sitting comfortably with no worries, just waiting for the end of the month alert. With all due respect sir, you are incompetent for this post. You don't even have the records to make it to the post you are currently occupying." The Comissioner ranted.
Everyone in the room except Clement echanged suprised looks. None of them was expecting such an outburst from their boss. They have always seen him as a cool headed dude who was so down to earth and treats the second and third in command to him with respect, because age-wise, they are both older than him, at least with five years.
"You can't talk to us like that." The public relation officer, a woman in her mid forties said.
Ada was her name.
"Look here Ada, you are the most non performing of the three. As a public relations officer, what are you duties? Since I came here, the pressmen has visited this place about four times and on those four occasions, Detective Ngozi had addressed them in you absence. You are not asked to handle gun, all that is expected from you is be the spokes person of the force, reach out to the masses, give them assurance that everything is under control. But you only show up at work every morning to sign in and return at the close of work to sign out. Is that why you were employed?"
"You are not my husband, neither are you my father. We were both employed here, no one is superior to another, do your job the way you can and let me do mine the way I want." Ada replied.
"Ada, that's a very wrong thing to say. A pettition has been written to the office of the IG and I am sure you know that the IG is in town. He'll be here by twelve to address the major stakeholders in the Lagos state command. You knw what to expect, a vote of no confidence has been passed by junior officers and you know what that means. Either you are stripped of your ranks of you are transferred." Clement explained.
Everyone kept quiet and listened to him.
"Who sent the junior officers on to write to the IG?" The ASP asked.
"Well, its not about who sent them to write the IG, it is very obvious, their bosses are not really working, you people don't care about their well being, you people don't care about their safety, all you just want them to do is face the terrorists while you sit back in you offices. Here is a copy of the pettition." The commissioner said giving a printed paper of about fourteen pages to the ASP who collected it and went through it.
"This is ridiculous." He exclaimed passing it to the SP.
"There is nothing ridiculous about this charges. You are guilty of the charges pressed against you. Just pray you find the favour of the IG or you risk facing the security committee." The commissioner replied.
Clement throughout the meeting which turned to an arguement arena which lasted for an hour had his mind on something different and unique. His main concern is how to get his father, Kelvin can wait.
A very good idea struck his mind but he couldn't hope too much, his colleagues might not be cooperative with him afterall.
