The new Commissioner of Police, Kwara Command, CP Victor Olaiya, has said he was determined to deal ruthlessly with all manners of criminals in the state, regardless of their nomenclature.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Ajayi Okasanmi, in a statement on Monday in Ilorin quoted the Commissioner as saying he would use the community policing strategy in line with global best practices to achieve this.

He further quoted the Commissioner as declaring total abhorrence to laziness, negligence, and armchair leadership style.

He hails from Lagos State and was the CP in charge of INEC headquarters in Abuja, before his posting to Kwara.
