Arase warned that he will no longer accept such from his men because his administration will have zero tolerance for corruption.
The police chief said he will not hesitate to prosecute any officer found guilty of such crime.
Arase, addressing officers at his maiden visit to the Lagos State Police Command in Ikeja, also warned that henceforth, every police officer must have sufficient evidence to arrest and interrogate any suspect, which is the normal practice worldwide.
The police boss said he is ready to “resurrect the Enugu Intelligence Training School” to enhance the intelligence gathering of the Force. He added that officers would be retrained regularly to keep them abreast of the latest form of policing.
“I want to discourage custodian approach to policing,” Arase said, explaining that “this will reduce the cases of seeking for bail and unnecessary detention of suspects in our cells.”
“To put a stop to the issue of bribery, we have a platform in the Nigeria Police; in the intelligence department attending to all complains especially in the area of corruption,” he stated.
Arase advised his men to “feel free to send any complaint to that department,” stressing that “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,” the top cop said.
This man sound so confident ,,,well,,he has a good plan n wish he succeed but I fear if buhari will wish to keep him.....
