The Kuje Divisional Police Officer (DPO), CSP Harrison Oruruo said time has come to end insecurity in Kuje area council.
He said police in the area will improve on their combat readiness and sharpen intelligence gathering mechanisms to put an end to crimes in the area council.
The Kuje police boss stated this Friday while receiving the best Divisional Police Officer of the year award and certificate of recommendation as security expert from the National Chronicle Magazine Worldwide in Kuje, Abuja.
He said, “we are strategising to put an end to kidnapping, communal clashes and incessant attacks on police and other security agencies.”
He expressed sadness at the recent kidnapping of some politicians in Kuje area council by unknown gunmen and instructed his men to strengthen the community policing strategies and put all hands on deck to ensure the success of all security measures put in place.
He stated that he would not tolerate indiscipline and indolence among his personnel, just as he tasked his officers and men to carry everybody along in their decisions and official transactions.
He said many policies are being put in place to reposition the police force but they cannot be feasible without collective support, contribution and dedication.
“We are facing many security challenges in different dimensions and these include communal crisis, kidnapping, and more heart-rending, the constant killing of security personnel.
“In all these, the police have been most affected; therefore, all hands must be on deck to ensure that the menace is brought to an end,” he said.
To contribute his own quota in controlling crime in the area, he said he would soon commence tour of areas most affected so as to organise public hearings which will enable the people make their inputs on how to curtail security situation in the area.
It is his believe that it would provide platform for neighborhood watch community policing for the various communities in the area to stem the rising incidences of crime.
Earlier in his speech, the chairman and chief executive officer of National Chronicle Magazine, Dr. Goodwin Nyitse, promised to partner with the Nigerian Police.
He said he would use his experience as an investigative journalist in conflict resolution to offer suggestions on how to deal with the security situation.
