The Abia State Police Command has disbanded its Anti-Cultism Unit following allegations of unprofessional conduct and incivility towards the public.
This was announced in a statement on Tuesday by the command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Maureen Chinaka, who also revealed the demotion of a police officer for misconduct.
“The Commissioner of Police, Abia State Command, CP Danladi Isa, in alignment with the vision of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to establish a professionally competent, service-driven, rule-of-law-compliant, and people-friendly police force, has disbanded the Anti-Cultism Unit for unprofessional conduct and incivility towards members of the public,” the statement read.
The statement further noted that Corporal Okonkwo Ebuka, attached to the Area Command in Aba but on special duty in Isuochi, was demoted to the rank of constable after being found guilty of discreditable and unprofessional conduct during an internal disciplinary process.
CP Danladi Isa reaffirmed the command’s commitment to a zero-tolerance policy for any form of misconduct that could tarnish the image of the police.
The public was urged to report incidents of unprofessional behavior to the Abia Command’s Complaint Response Unit at 09031593827.
