The
new Commissioner of Police in the Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Joseph
Mbu, has said that he was deployed to effectively police the territory
and not for politicking.
He
made the statement yesterday at his first news conference at the FCT
Police Command headquarters. He said that whoever takes the laws into
his or her hands in the territory will be brought to book.
“Today (Monday),
I have assumed duties as the new Commissioner of Police in charge of
the FCT,” he said. “I am not here for politics; this is Federal Capital
Territory, a no-man’s land. We are here to do policing and that is all,”
he said.
Mr
Mbu promised to establish confidence in officers and men of the command
to enable them to carry out their duties without fear. He however
warned the personnel against indiscipline, advising them to be civil and
respect the people.
He
added that the command would soon install complaint boxes in public
places, including Churches and Mosques, to enable the public to
volunteer information and to report misconduct by policemen.
Mbu was the former Rivers State Police Commissioner transferred to the FCT weeks ago.
