New Police Commissioner Resumes Duty, Asks Criminals, Cultists To Leave Ogun

A new Commissioner of Police has resumed duty in Ogun State, with a vow to fight criminal elements and the growing army of cultists in the state to a stand still.

The new commissioner, Oladimeji Olanrewaju said he would not allow Ogun to become a cultist state.

He asks members of the various cultist groups to relocate from the state or regret their decision to remain in the state.

Olanrewaju reads the Riot Act on Thursday, while addressing newsmen on resumption of duty at the state police command headquarters at Eleweran, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

The new police commissioner said his agenda was to make law abiding residents of the state to sleep well.

For criminals, he said they must leave immediately, as police under his leadership would work with other security agencies to rid the state of criminal elements.

The new commissioner succeeds the newly promoted Assistant Inspector General Frank Mba, who had been re-posted to head the Federal Criminal Intelligence Department annexes, Alagbon in Lagos State.

Earlier, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, has ordered the newly appointed police commissioners to move to their respective state police commands.

The police chief in a statement by the force spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, directs them to immediately report at their duty posts.

12 new police commissioners were approved last Tuesday by the Police Service Commissioner for 12 state police commands.

Adejobi said the IGP ordered the new police commissioners to promote community policing to achieve modern, technology based and people driven policing in their respective commands.

The police chief also directs them to entrench professionalism and respect for fundamental human rights and put all their officers under their supervision.
