The new Commissioner of Police in the Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Joseph Mbu, has said that he was deployed to effectively police the territory and not for politicking.
He made the statement yesterday at his first news conference at the FCT Police Command headquarters. He said that whoever takes the laws into his or her hands in the territory will be brought to book.
“Today (Monday), I have assumed duties as the new Commissioner of Police in charge of the FCT,” he said. “I am not here for politics; this is Federal Capital Territory, a no-man’s land. We are here to do policing and that is all,” he said.
Mr Mbu promised to establish confidence in officers and men of the command to enable them to carry out their duties without fear. He however warned the personnel against indiscipline, advising them to be civil and respect the people.
He added that the command would soon install complaint boxes in public places, including Churches and Mosques, to enable the public to volunteer information and to report misconduct by policemen.
Mbu was the former Rivers State Police Commissioner transferred to the FCT weeks ago.
