Christian Rowland writing for ODOGWU MEDIA....Inspector
general of police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris, has expressed sadness over the
kidnapping of policemen in the country, describing it as “very
embarrassing and annoying”.
Speaking
on Wednesday during a meeting with commissioners of police and other
senior officers in Abuja, Idris told the police officers that they would
be held responsible should anything happen to any policeman under them.
He
urged police officers to always protect themselves, saying: “You can
only protect others when you are protected because you are a target.
“There
should be more visibility policing. Policemen should be deployed in
flashpoint areas to take care of security because the presence of police
in those areas would help in the reduction of crime,” he said.
“We
must take the protection of our officers seriously. We have a problem;
two days ago, one of our DPOs was kidnapped. How can you be a DPO, you
have all the policemen under your command and then you start driving as
if you don’t have anybody.
“You
allow the useless kidnappers to pick you and your orderly, it is very
embarrassing. We had the same issue in Zamfara state where an ACP going
on leave travelled alone. It is embarrassing.
“The
information we are receiving is that our ACP’s vehicle was abandoned in
a bush and he has not been seen which obviously means that he has been
kidnapped. How can we be living with such situation? It is becoming an
embarrassment. DPOs and other personnel should be careful of their
movement.
“Our
officers have to be concerned about their personal safety first because
this issue is becoming an embarrassment. CPs would also be vicariously
liable for any policeman that is just picked up like a fowl or anything,
it is very annoying.”
