The
Lagos State Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni, on Tuesday warned Area
Commanders and Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) in the state police command to
shun bribery or leave the state.
According
to a statement sent to Premium Times, Mr. Owoseni stated this during a lecture
on Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officers at the Police Officers’ Wives’
Association (POWA) Hall, Ikeja.
He
warned that the era of impunity and corruption among cops was gone, appealing
to his subordinates to come for transfer if they would not want to play by the
rules in the state.
He
said: “I am tired of hearing about shooting or killing of innocent persons. No
one has the right to take another man’s life. It is only God that has the right
to take life,” the spokesperson for the Lagos Police command, Olarinde
Famous-Cole, quoted Mr. Owoseni as saying.
“It is your responsibility as a DPO to know those who are collecting bribe under you. If you refuse to stop them, they will stop you from being a DPO.
“It is your responsibility as a DPO to know those who are collecting bribe under you. If you refuse to stop them, they will stop you from being a DPO.
“It
is embarrassing to see policemen collecting bribes and chasing yahoo yahoo boys
for a DPO. I would not cover any DPO. I will expose you. Just leave Lagos
before I get to your station. I cannot share out of your misconduct. I will
give your photographs and details to journalists to expose you.
“I
am shocked to hear that some Area Commanders and DPOs are on the pay rolls of
fraudsters. I am investigating. Just pray that I don’t get you. Just know that
you are causing pains for taxpayers if you are intimidating them and collecting
bribe from criminals.
“It
is a curse to build a house with the money. The building would collapse on your
head. Some of you even take people to the bank to collect money. If you train
your children with the money, they won’t be useful to you.
“If
those who were in the force before us bastardized it, we would not have the
opportunity to be enlisted in the police. I am tired of pleading with police
victims because you are doing what you are not supposed to do. Remember, one
day, you are going to die and give account to your creator.
“Go
back to your areas of jurisdiction and warn your men against brutality,
indiscriminate use of handcuffs on pregnant women, elders and persons with
disability.
“Special
Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) should take note. I will not tolerate any act of
indiscipline.
“Learn
a lesson from DPO Ijeshatedo, who shot dead a fashion designer. He is in our
custody and we are compiling charges against him. He would soon be arraigned in
court.
“All
DPOs in Ikorodu should use all resources within their disposals to fish out
Badoo cult group that has been causing havoc in the community. I am giving you
all 48 hours to decongest your cells. Nobody should be detained more than 48
hours. I will conduct checks on the cells.”

This police commissioner has done what pleases God for the first time in the history of Nigerian Police, he has wash off his own hand of blood which many are guilty of by keeping quiet and the blessings thereof will follow his generation forever.
ReplyDeleteGod is not mocked, what a man sows he reaps.
The problem of Nigeria in terms of corruption lies with the police institution and the university community academic workers. Nigeria police is mainly the foot soldiers of the Spirit of corruption that was ceremonially brought into Nigeria by some past political leaders. The spirit needs to be cast out, it has vow to defile every
Nigeria through bribe taking using armed-forcing method of the Nigeria police, give bribe to worship the spirit or it kills you through them. Benue Police command especially Makurdi area has organized criminal police squad that has pretended to be dealer in some items like metal scrap which hungry Nigerians demand, they will invite you with police connection that the scraps are from non-criminal source, whereby as you come and pay them, they would afterward disappear and another group will arrest and pass you through deadly prosecutions during which they try to interrogate you to know if you can identify any of them, and if you are able they will kill you while in detention for going to expose them. The blood of many people is flying over many Makurdi policemen, even on those of them that were culprits and that have left the region. If you go to tell them that Hell Fire is waiting for them they will not believe because most of them belong to false religions that preach reincarnation and religions that preach that their members after observing certain seasons of fasting and going to pilgrimage that they will go to paradise.
Nigerian university academic unit should review what they teach young Nigerian. Apart from indoctrinating to believe in corruption of bribery, they also teach them satanism, for instance I was at one of the federal universities in the Southeast so couple of years ago a professor of philosophy from Nkanu local government area of Enugu state on a topic 'conscience' told their students that the definition of 'conscience' is ' a demon in you', implying that the students has no control over their moral life as to have virtues in them thereby they should act with vice. The professor dropped the 'time bomb', without wanting to entertain any questions from the students for clarifications, walked out of the auditorium in a hurry. I wonder what the life of those students will be by now.
Nigeria prison authority knew well how many innocent inmates they have killed in their illegal businesses and in attempts to conceal their dirty deals. 'life is short', nobody know that it means that life is just 80 years for you to go and meet divine judgment panel. .......Nigeria is full of blood, blood letting everywhere.
Illegal human organ trafficking in highly ongoing in Nigeria. Foreigners conniving with wicked Nigerians to charm Nigerian citizens to highly walled factories where they were killed and their organs like heart and kidney cut off to be sold in foreign lands. Our fatherland is a place where citizens lives are not regarded. The worst is that Nigeria immigration, police and custom agencies are unconcerned to investigate thoroughly the kind of businesses foreigners purports to come do in Nigeria, and what people move out of country as urgent and special items.
