By Akintunde Jacobs, Akure

Police Constables who recently passed out in Ondo state have been called upon to always exhibit high level of discipline and professionalism in the discharge of their duties.

The Inspector General of Police Usman Alkali, while emphasising that unethical behaviour amongst the police will not be condone under any guise, stressed that rule of law and respect for human rights which is the bedrock of policing must be adhere to.

The IGP who was represented by the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 17, AIG Yunuss Mohammed Akeera made the call on Wednesday at the passing out parade of 357 Constables from Police Training School, Oyin Akoko, Ondo State.

A statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer of the Zone, Adeoye Akeem, the IGP maintained that “the Police under my leadership has zero tolerance for indiscipline and any act that may be antithetical to police professionalism.

“I therefore admonish you to resolve not to engage in any act that will be unedifying of your good name, that of your families and indeed the Force as you commence your policing career today.”

On his part, the Commandant of Police Training School, Oyin Akoko, DCP Aina Adesola, charged the new Constables to be selfless, patriotic and good ambassadors of the school.

Adesola said, “As Policemen, you must have respect for the Rule of law, fundamental human rights and your loyalty to the nation and the Force must be total and resolute.”
