''My Men Will Arrest Even Governors That Misbehave At Polling Stations'' – AIG Mbu Says

 Ahead of 2015 general elections which is now scheduled for March 28th and April 11th, the new Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2, Joseph Mbu, has warned that his men will arrest any governor or politician with unruly attitude during the forthcoming elections.

 Mbu said this on Thursday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, during his official visit to the Ogun State police command headquarters, Eleweran. He ordered the men of the command, who would be on electoral duty, to arrest promptly anyone caught with arms near the voting centres.

He said:

 “I am here to encourage, support and advice you because we have a critical part to play in the forthcoming elections. Our actions and activities will go a long way to decide on this election, so, I have come to tell you that we must remain impartial in ensuring free, fair, peaceful and violent-free polls. 

 As far as the law is concerned, we are not going to respect anybody and whoever is coming to the booth should vote and leave peacefully. Anyone who comes there to campaign even if it is the chief executive of the state, a constable at that polling booth would stop him.”

 Mbu, who debunked the notion that he was sent to the zone to do an hatchet job in the forthcoming elections, said he had been commissioner in Oyo, Ekiti and Rivers states as well as in the Federal Capital Territory. He said his current posting as the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 7, was not in any way different from his previous assignments.

He said:

 “I am here to make sure everywhere is calm; I am not here at Zone 2 only for elections. The Zone 2 must not just fail during the elections. I am here to make sure everything goes on peacefully, but the police will arrest anybody that commits any electoral offences. 

 Anybody found with arms would be arrested by the police and anyone that cannot be arrested; we will recover the arms by force. 

 No politician or any of their followers must shoot at any policeman; if you shoot at any policeman, my policemen would shoot back in self defence. 

 Our duty is to make sure that the elections are conducted freely, fairly and peacefully and violence-free. There must be a code of conduct that you have to uphold to make sure that we actualise our goals.”

Nigeria Police To Stop Salaries Of 30 Missing Policemen - Report

     Police Chief  Suleiman Abba

 According to reports, the salaries of some missing 30 mobile policemen in Borno State would be stopped by April 2015, if the men failed to show up at their squadron units, sources have revealed to PUNCH.

 The policemen were declared missing back in August after an attack on the Police Training School, Gwoza, Borno State, by Boko Haram insurgents. And might be given up for dead if they did not report to their commanding officers by the end of the first quarter of the New Year.

 It was however learnt that the missing police personnel would be declared dead formally after seven years.

 About 159 personnel drawn from Mopol 50, Abuja; Mopol 38, Akwanga and Mopol 58, Lafia, Nasarawa State, were undergoing training at the school when Boko Haram gunmen attacked them on August 20,2014, killing some and seizing their arms and ammunition.

 A number of the policemen escaped but 30 of them are yet to be accounted for, three months after the incident.

Though the Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, had expressed hope that the men might be alive but he was silent on the efforts being made to search for them.

PUNCH reports they learnt that the salaries of the affected personnel might be suspended if their emolument forms were not submitted to the officers-in-charge of the Mechanised Salary Sections, who process police salaries.

It was learnt that the emolument forms had been given to the rank and file to be filled and submitted before the end of the year.

 Findings indicated that any backlog salaries of the missing officers would be paid the moment they show up to fill the emolument form. A police source told them:

“The salaries of the missing officers are still being paid for now, but by April next year, it would be stopped because they did not fill the emolument forms that would ensure the continuous payment of their salaries.” 

 One of the MOPOL commandants in Abuja was said to have given money to family members of some of the missing policemen recently when they complained of hardships they encountered in accessing the bank accounts of their missing breadwinners.

 “I was there when the commander gave out N50,000 to each of the women to assist them because of the hardship they are facing since their husband went missing at Gwoza; you know that some men don’t open up to their wives about their finances, so you can understand what the women are going through,” the source stated.

 But the Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, in a text message, said it was not true that the salaries of the personnel would be stopped, noting that “they are only presumed dead after seven years.

Armed Robbers Attack Police station, Beat And Collect Guns From Policemen

A gang of armed robbers, yesterday, attacked Makarfi Divisional Police Station, in Makarfi, the headquarters of Makarfi Local Government Council of Kaduna State disarming all the policemen at the station.

According to a policeman, who spoke to some reporters, but pleaded for anonymity, the robbers numbered between 25 and 30.

Said he: “I was just about to go in and check some detainees when I heard gunshots. I rushed out to be face-to-face with bandits in flowing caftans, and some in tattered army uniforms shooting into the air and ordering us to come out and lie down on the road.

“They then started throwing explosives into the police station. The ground was shaking. They later moved to the bank (about 100 metres away) and started shooting and throwing explosives. Some of the robbers were standing over us, while the rest were at the bank.

“I don’t know the time they all left because they left one after the other. They may have been there for an hour. Later, we saw a military vehicle with soldiers and Mobile Policemen. We told them what happened and they drove eastwards, also shooting into the air,” he said.

“As far as I know, no one was injured, though they beat up some of us. I also heard they could not get any money from the bank.

“I want you to please tell government to give us surveillance and communication equipment. We are just here facing danger everyday. If the armed robbers had wanted, they could have killed all of us, because they had better arms, and were more in number.”

What a man can do, a woman can do better. This is true of Ngozi Braide, Police Public Relations Officer,Lagos State Command and also a Deputy Superintendent of Police.

Ngozi  gets a lot of attention from the opposite sex but this is how she copes with them as she explained in a recent interview

''I am coping well. I don’t have to bother about the ones on Facebook for now because I don’t have an account right now. Some impostors were found to be running a parallel account with my original account and I had to close it. But on my phone I get so many calls, many of which come from men who just call for nasty reasons. In fact, I get 50 per cent reasonable calls and 50 per cent nasty calls. Then physically at functions, some men really make me feel shy because of their gestures. I have, however, chosen never to act snobbishly, so I handle them maturely.
