Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The new Commissioner of Police in Kogi State, CP Edward Chuka Egbuka, has warned criminal elements to vacate the state or risk being killed.<\/p>\n

CP Egbuka, who gave the warning in his maiden press conference on Friday in Lokoja, the state capital, promised to use his over 30 years of experience in the police to fight crimes and criminality in the state.<\/p>\n

The commissioner called on the citizens of the state to avail the police of information to enable it to carry out its mandate, adding that the police has several channels of receiving information as well as protecting the informants.<\/p>\n

While noting that Kogi State is familiar terrain to him, having served before in the state, the new police boss promised to key into the mission and vision of the Inspector General of Police to attract and build the trust of the people of the state.<\/p>\n

Egbuka further promised to synergise with all other security and paramilitary agencies, including critical stakeholders towards making the state safe and secure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be business unusual in fighting crimes and criminality in Kogi State. Am calling on the media to promote stories that will help the police do better in the discharge of their duties. We are warning against sensational reporting that will promote and encourage crimes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nigeria Police under my watch has zero-tolerance for extortion. Any officer caught will face the full wrath of the law,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He also cautioned men of the police in the state against infringing on the rights of citizens, adding that he will not tolerate the infringement of the rights of policemen in carrying out their duties.<\/p>\n

CP Egbuka is the 36th Commissioner of Police in Kogi State.<\/p>\n

His assumption of office followed the redeployment of CP Idrisu Dauda Dabban to the Force Headquarters as the Commissioner of Police Communications.<\/p>\n
