Edo State Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike, has said he would personally lead raids on criminal hideouts as well as embark on street patrols throughout his stint in the state.
Ezike, who last week resumed as the new police boss in Edo, charged officers and men of the state police command to sacrifice their personal comfort for the safety of the people.
He spoke on Monday while delivering his inaugural address at a meeting with senior officers, area commanders, Divisional Police Officers and heads of departments.
Ezike ordered immediate recall of policemen posted to unauthorized individuals as well as other policemen who were posted illegally.
He said office personnel in the state should be reduced by 50 percent because “adequate policing is done in the field.”
He identified armed robbery, kidnapping and cultism as major security challenges in the state and charged the officers to use scientific method in tackling crimes within their jurisdiction.
