ACP Joe Arumse
A viral video showing policemen attached to the Police Mobile Force PMF 23 Lagos shoving their retiring commandant ACP Joe Arumse has been condemned by the police authority led by IGP Usman Alkali Baba.
The spokesperson for the Nigeria Police Force, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi stated that the Force has taken necessary disciplinary action against the indicted officers as he added that the act does not represent the ethics and tradition of the Nigeria Police Force NPF. He said “We honour and respect officers, both serving and retired in the NPF. We will continue to uphold the core values and code of conduct of the NPF”.
It was widely reported how policemen in a viral video disrespected ACP Arumse, as the policemen accused him of not being good to them before the retirement day. Arumse was holding his handover note meant for his successor but the policemen were screaming at him to leave the office.
In another development, the police authority has acknowledged and commended one Inspector Tobi Kulani Kanadi attached to Police Mobile Force 44, Force Headquarters Abuja, for being a worthy ambassador and for his kindness in sacrificing a cash sum of 2,000 Naira (the maximum daily allocated) for a health worker he met on a long ATM queue at National Hospital Abuja.
The unnamed health worker, it was gathered needed to make a withdrawal before proceeding to attend to some medical emergencies but others on the queue did not harken to his pleas to get the cash out.
“Looking out for the people we serve remains part of our policing values, and it’s heartwarming to see this exemplified by Inspector Tobi. We are continually committed to upholding the lofty tenets of compassionate and professional policing in our encounters with members of the public. Inspector Tobi, we commend your exemplary gesture as a good ambassador of the Nigeria Police Force” CSP Adejobi stated.
