By Akpan David, Calabar
The new Commissioner of Police in Cross River State, Abdulkadir Jimoh has said that he is coming to the with a sheer determination not to condone ineptitude, dishonesty and a poise to rid the state of criminals.
Reading the riot act to officers and men of the Command Monday in his inaugural meeting with officers, CP Jimoh said “My mission in the state is integrity and I am coming with integrity.
“I will not allow anybody to soil my name, so I am appealing to all officers and men to leave above board. This is a new dawn, the era of extortion, the era of arbitrarily arrest and unlawful detention is over, I will not tolerate it.
“I believe in accountability, officers and men are going to be accountable for every action they take. I believe in honesty, you must be honest with the people of Cross River State. You must be honest with your colleagues and you must be honest with the Commissioner of Police”, he said.
“As the Head of this command, I will leave by example and I want the people to feel our impact positively and I believe in economic development. If the Police make it difficult for people to move, the ease of doing business will be very difficult.
“For instance, if container is coming from Aba to Calabar and you have about 100 road blocks, when are they going to get here, I want the entire tactical commander and everybody to get this warning message that I want development in Cross River State.
“I want business to grow in Cross River State, I want Cross River State IGR to increase, that is why I am going to key into Federal Government way of doing business and by making sure that there is no bottle neck created by the Police on the road”.
JImoh also signalled men of the underworld to beware as his coming will not tolerate them.
“I am using this opportunity to appeal to all those who have criminal intent or who are engage in criminal activities to abundance this heinous way of lives or relocate to another state.”
