The Abia State Police Command has demoted a police officer and disbanded its Anti-Cultism Unit due to unprofessional conduct and incivility toward members of the public.
The command’s spokesperson, Maureen Chinaka, confirmed the actions in a statement on Tuesday.
“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 Command’s Anti-Cultism Unit for unprofessional conduct and incivility towards members of the public,” the statement read.
The statement also disclosed that Corporal Okonkwo Ebuka, identified by F/No: 527324 and attached to the Area Command in Aba but on special duty at Isuochi, was demoted to the rank of Constable.
The decision followed the conclusion of an administrative action in which the officer was tried in an orderly room and found guilty of discreditable and unprofessional conduct.
The Commissioner of Police emphasized the command’s commitment to upholding discipline and its zero-tolerance policy for any behavior that tarnishes the image of the force.
