The newly deployed Commissioner of Police to Borno State, Naziru Abdulmajid, has warned senior and junior police personnel in the state against disrespect for human rights and corruption.
The CP gave the warning on Monday while making his speech upon assumption of duty in Maiduguri, the state headquarters of the force.
He said his administration will not tolerate indiscipline and acts contrary to the core values of the Nigerian police.
“To the officers and men of the Borno State Command, the expectations are high. I urge you to remain professional, disciplined, and committed to our core values. Corruption, human rights abuses, and unethical conduct will not be tolerated,” he said
The CP assured of improved security across the state through civil and personnel collaboration.
He said, “Borno has shown remarkable resilience in the face of adversity. I am fully aware of the complex security landscape, and I assure you that we will work relentlessly to sustain and improve the gains recorded in the fight against crime, insurgency, and other threats to public safety.
“We will enhance visibility policing, strengthen collaboration with sister security agencies, and deepen our partnership with traditional institutions, religious leaders, community groups, and the media. I believe strongly that security is a shared responsibility, and with your support, we can build a safer Borno.
To the good people of Borno State, I want to assure you that I am here to serve with dedication, fairness, and an unwavering commitment to peace and security. This Command under my leadership will adopt a professional, intelligence-led, and community-oriented policing approach that will address the unique security challenges facing our state.”
He, however, commended the former Commissioner of Police, Yusufu Lawal, for his accomplishments, describing him as a leader who left an impressive foundation.
While calling for cooperation from members of the public, he said his doors are wide open to suggestions and constructive engagement.
“I also want to use this opportunity to appeal to the public for cooperation, information sharing, and mutual trust. My doors remain open to suggestions and constructive engagement that will help us deliver better policing services,” he added.
