Moral Re-Orientation Of The Nigeria Police Force Is Important – Muhammed Adamu

Mohammed AdamuThe Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Muhammed Adamu has come out to say that a total moral re-orientation of the police is compulsory if they want to gain the trust of Nigerians.

Represented by Peter Ogunyanwo, the DIG in-charge of Research and Planning, he said this during his official visit to the Oyo State Police Command, Ibadan.

According to him, the force needs discussions on morals since several officers lacked the required moral values.

His words, “We must be able to deliver quality service because it would determine the perspective of the public to the police.

“We must be on the side of the good because government employed us to enforce law and prevent crime.

“You must have the fear of God in everything you do. If the CP (commissioner of police) is not seeing you, remember that God is watching you. You must follow the rules of law at all times.

“They call us public servants; we must not turn ourselves to masters on the road; respect anyone you see in mufty on the road.

“The intention of most police officers on the road is to collect money but always remember that everything is not money.”

Can our police improve?
