The Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 9 Umuahia, Kanayo Uzuegbu, says the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, are dying off in the Southeast zone.
This was as he urged the people of the zone to go about their normal businesses without fear of attack and intimidation.
Uzuegbu made this statement in Ebonyi State Police headquarters on an official visit to the command, warning the officers and men to desist from any act capable of denting the image of the police.
“Our police job is a law established by the constitution. We have a fundamental duty to do. It is a duty by law to secure our land. So, in professionalism, you have to work according to these duties.
“Unethical conduct is not allowed. You have to do your job as stipulated by law. It has to be done by fact, not fancy.
“It’s unprofessional to extort road users and residents. And the authority of the police is against that,” he said.
The Ebonyi State Commissioner of Police, Adaku Uche Anya, in her remarks, enumerated the achievements of the command in combating crimes and making the residents sleep with their two eyes closed.
She assured the AIG that the command would continue to fight crime and criminality in the state to ensure a crime-free state.
