The police AIG Zone 13, Mr Umar Muri, Thursday, called on officers to remain ethical and refrain from unlawful arrest and dabbling in civil matters. 


Muri, who stated this during his visit to the Anambra State Police Command at Amawbia, also commended the command on their efforts in fighting criminals, patriotism and untiring efforts.


“There are things we must take into cognisance in discharge of our duties. We must sustain the fight against criminals and taking the fight to their doorsteps. We must shun unlawful arrest and meddling in civil cases.


"You must fish out and ensure punishment of policemen who fraternize with criminals, you can only use firearm when the situation at hand is proportional to the use, and ensure justice and fairness prevail in all your dealings with members of the public at all times," he noted. 


The AIG equally disclosed that the Inspector General of Police (IGP) has made various commitments to boost moral of officers, including kitting of the officers, prompt payment of salaries, renovation of four Police colleges and operational vehicles.


Earlier, the Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr Echeng Echeng, said the command has unravelled identities of unknown gunmen, brought safety and restored sanity in the State.


“We have registered a lot of successes in the fight against criminals. Most of the successes wouldn’t have been possible without your (Muri’s) advice. Our security situation continues to improve everyday, and it will continue to improve day after day. 


"Many of those criminals who were referred to as unknown gunmen have been arrested, many guns have been recovered and vehicles recovered and given to their owners. The unknown gunmen are now known. May I also seize this opportunity to tell you that the masterminds of the Okija attack on police has been picked up by police with three of his friend and are today giving us clues about their operations. 


"We lost two men during that attack. The moral of our men have been restored. When we came on board, moral was low, but today moral is high and we are still building on it. we will continue, to ensure that our men will go about their job without being harassed by miscreants,” Echeng stated.
