The Commissioner of Police in Oyo State, Mr Nwachuckwu Enwonwu has assumed office in Ibadan.
Enwonwu, who took over from Mr Shina Olukolu, who has been posted to the Force Command Investigation Department (FCID) Lagos State, urged his men to maintain high level of discipline and respect for human rights as enshrined in the nation’s constitution.
He said, “I want you to extend the same cooperation you have shown him to me and try as much as possible to maintain the tempo. Once you do that, you will be my friend but anything short of that will not be accommodated. As you go back to your various commands make sure you maintain high level of discipline because discipline is the bedrock of the Nigeria Police Force,” he said.
Strongly warning against actions that would make the public to petition against his men regarding the violation of their rights, Enwonwu said that a safe society would bring development, investment, generate employment as well as improving the standard of living of the citizens.
Earlier, Olukolu urged the men of the command to support their new boss stressing, “I want to enjoin you all to extend that hand of fellowship to the new CP and not take his simplicity for granted. Apart from the support from the police, I also enjoyed tremendous support from the State Government, traditional leaders, religious leaders, vigilance groups among others”.
