The Commissioner of Police Delta State Command, CP Ari Muhammed Ali, paid a courtesy visit to the Delta State University, Abraka, on Friday, March 11, and pledged a partnership with the school.
The CP also assures them of adequate security at all times after he was warmly received by the Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Andy Ugochchukwu Egwunyenga, and the management of the University.
According to the command spokesperson, DSP Bright Edafe, he said the CP in his remarks noted that the university environment must be policed properly as it comprises vulnerable youths who need to be properly guided against Cultism, internet fraud, and other related practices that will affect them negatively.
“The CP assured the VC and management of the university that the Command is ever ready to partner with the school to achieve a conducive and peaceful environment for the staff and students.
“The CP also noted that as a community policing-driven officer, the need to partner with all stakeholders cannot be overemphasized. He urged the management of the school to reach out to the DPO or the Area Commander whenever the need arises and if they don’t get the desired results, the office of the CP is open 24 hours to handle such issues.
“The Vice-chancellor in his remarks stated that the CP’S visit is the first of its kind in the existence of the school and also noted that the Commissioner of Police is a goal-oriented Police officer who has his agenda well spelled out and is sure the security in the State under the administration of CP Ari Muhammed Ali will be a very solid one.”
“The Commissioner of Police also visited Abraka Police Station where he had a brief lecture with officers and men of the Division. The CP lectured them on the need to be civil while dealing with members of the public, noting that Abraka and its environs are a university community where the majority are students, hence very important to know that policing a student community may not be entirely the same with police a commercial community.”
“The CP said students can easily ignite crisis if they are not properly managed, noting that students are our children, brothers, and sisters and must be handled with care (Human face).”
“The CP warned in strong terms that extortion of any kind, involvement in crime, fraternizing with criminals, violation of human rights will not be tolerated as any officer found wanting will be decisively dealt with. He also emphasized the need for policemen to neatly and smartly dress as it will determine how they will be accessed by members of the public.” The spokesperson said in a statement.
