Ali, who also ordered
drunkenness test on all personnel of the command, said the action became
imperative in order to “avoid any accidental discharge or extrajudicial
killing.”
The Assistant
Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos, AIG
Abdulmajid Ali, has ordered that mental test be conducted on all serving
officers in the command.
A statement on Thursday by
Zone 2 Command spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, quoted Ali as making this known
during a newly introduced educative session for officers and men of the zonal
command at Onikan, Lagos.
“The police boss reiterated
his zero tolerance for corruption, excessive use of force, dirtiness,
incivility to the public, drunkenness and unethical conducts that can damage
the image of the Nigeria Police Force.
“He seized the opportunity
to challenge policemen to read and imbibe the spirit of love to all and sundry
they come in contact with.
“The AIG mandated the
police medical unit to carry out drunkenness and mental checks on men
(particularly those on operations) of the command to avoid any accidental
discharge of extrajudicial killings,” the statement read in part.
