He said any senior officer that flouted the directive
would be sanctioned. He said he had set up a monitoring team to ensure
compliance at all state and zonal commands of the police force and to
track policemen who abandoned their duties.
Abubakar took the DCPs to task over their poor
policing styles and conduct. He said they must re-evaluate their
policing strategies, stressing that the full effect of their posting had
not been felt over the years.
Addressing the DCPs at the Force Headquarters in
Abuja on Tuesday, Abubakar told the officers that the time for excuses
was over as they were now in an era that demanded results.
The police boss said he would hire external assessors
to conduct examinations for senior officers, pointing out that anyone
that performed woefully would be asked to leave the service.
Abubakar, who said he would not condone indiscipline
in the Force, stressed that he had made up his mind to bring in radical
transformations in the Police and improve on the capability of the force
to discharge its constitutional responsibility.
Abubakar said, “Structurally, the Police is dying and
you (DCPs) are there. This is too bad. Delegation of responsibilities
must be the core of police assignment and I will hold you (DCPs) and the
Commissioners of Police in the various commands collectively liable for
any lapses noticed henceforth in your commands or your duty posts.
