Acting Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase has said that he
has zero tolerance for corruption and would not hesitate to prosecute
any officer found guilty of such crime.
He gave this warning yesterday during his maiden visit to the Lagos
State Police Command, Ikeja, Lagos, while addressing police officers
of the command.
He warned that hence forth, every police officer must have sufficient evidence to arrest and interrogate any suspect.
“I want to discourage custodian approach to policing. This will
reduce the cases of seeking for bail and unnecessary detention of
suspects in our cells.post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com.. To put a stop to the issue of bribery, we have a
platform in the Nigerian police, in the intelligence department
attending to all complains especially in the area of corruption.
“Feel free to send any complaint to that department. Bail is free
and all those offering money to the police are also corrupt. I am
passionate about the intelligence school that is why I am determined to
invest on capacity building.
“I am going to resurrect the Enugu Intelligence Training School and
ensure that officers are trained and retrained. They need to be up to
date with the modern trend of investigation. It’s obvious that they do
things out of ignorance.
