Rivers: New CP disbands E-crack Unit

Barth Ndubuwah,Port Harcourt

Barely four days of resumption of office by the new Commissioner of Police (CP), Friday Eboka in Rivers State, he has disbanded the Eagle Crack Tactical Unit of the State Command, signalling his zero tolerance to indiscipline and unprofessionalism.

According to a statement issued in Port Harcourt by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Nnamdi Omoni, this was done  after a meeting with his Management Team.

“ The dissolution is coming on the heels of complaints of unprofessional conduct exhibited by the personnel of the Unit,”the statement said.

You would recall that the CP in his maiden press briefing had promised to address all cases of infractions by the Police and increase supervision  of the men, with a stern warning to deal with erring officers and hold DPOs/HODs  liable for such acts.

The PPRO said “the dissolution is with immediate effect and all Personnel attached to the Unit are to report to the Headquarters for redeployment.

“The public is hereby enjoined to rekindle their trust in the Police, as the Command is committed to giving them improved policing services that will stand the test of time,” the statement said.
