The zone six Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Calabar, Kola Kamaldeen has called on the men of the Nigerian police to respect citizens of the country they are meant to protect, warning that the force will no longer tolerate harassment of members of the public.
The AIG, while reacting to the two recent dismissals of personnel who manhandled two civilians said, “we want our men to be civil to members of the public.
“It is from the taxes they pay to the government that our salaries are paid. We work for them. ”
According to Kamaldeen, the top hierarchy of the force had continually advised officers and men to “behave as civil as possible because they are also Nigerians.”
“We must allow that slogan ‘Police is your friend’ to come alive positively.
“We must be friendly to members of the public and allow the rule of law to reign,” he said.
