ACTING Inspector General of Police, Ogbonna Onovo, has assured Nigerians of his commitment to a crime-free society and urged them to pray for him to achieve this feat. Speaking at the force headquarters on Friday during the handing and talking over ceremony from his predecessor, Mike Okiro, Onovo said that the support of his officers and men, over the years, had been overwhelming and that the confidence Nigerians reposed in him will not be in vain. Onovo commended his predecessor for his leadership style and pledged to continue from where he stopped in fighting crime. “Tell Nigerians that I will not disappoint them or fail them. I thank the president immensely for the confidence reposed in me by this appointment and I will not disappoint him and Nigerians,” he said http://www.tribune.com.ng/25072009/news/news12.html |

A crime free society in Nigeria is a nightmare, though i believe it is a political statement. |

na today?, this wan don come again abeg make dem check all the failed banks, cos its no new thing that police officers are now contractors. Yeye man, wetin e wan take ensure crime free society abi na the half back police men wen the only language dem dey hear for road block na N20 naira  To ensure a crime free society the naija police force needs to be completely overhauled, minimum requirement to join police force should be upgraded to OND, we cant have graduates roaming the street and primary 6 holders will be in the force. State policing must be encourage so that lagos can set the pace and other states can come and learn from the ideas of fashola, highest ranking police officer in the state should be a democratic appointment and select by the vote of the people in the community and not by the president or IG who are so far away and dont even know the happenings of the community. So that anyone with good ideas on how to perfect the police force and solve crime can come on board and be voted in. As done in U.S.A! |

Simply put, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE and in nigeria with this statement, CRIME WILL ESCALATE committed both by policemen and robbers. |

the man looks even more sinister than okiro IMO   . i dont know much about him, but i dont think he's the one to eliminate crime. if anything he's prolly going to escalate it. |

Fast forward a few years and we'll be discussing this old fool and the bags of cash found in his office. . . .sad but inevitable. . . |

Talk is cheap. Haven't we heard these rhetorics from alll his predecessors before? And haven't we continued to get worse as a society fighting crimes while just about every single former IG of P become multi-millionaire while in office and after leaving office? Make we hear something, jare! |

Have heard this tune before. It gets really old |
| Re: Onovo Assures Of Crime-free Society by Nobody: 4:50pm On Jul 25, 2009 |
dinggle:sorry but the rates have gone up. Traffic stopping fare goes for a minimum of N50 where i am, and thats just for tokunbo vehicles. The higher the vehicle specs the more money you drop. Can you imagine after giving one N50 he started grumbling that i wasnt reflecting the car i was driving. He even tried to delay me, but i quickly took off. Tudór:Can't help but to agree. |
| Re: Onovo Assures Of Crime-free Society by Nobody: 5:16pm On Jul 25, 2009 |
the man looks even more sinister than okiro IMO gbam. However, if he says he'll deliver a crime free society, then I'll assume he has the means and "connections" to make it happen. So we'll wait and see. |
| Re: Onovo Assures Of Crime-free Society by Recognise: 5:41pm On Jul 25, 2009 |
Tudór: @Tudór - Tudór If not that . . . hopefully not about a 5 figure millions of naira loan his wife took and not repaying which contributed to the collapse of the bank . . .  |

Nigerian journalist need to learn gramma did he pledge a crime free society or assure of one? no country has achieved that yet, Nigeria may be first. |
| Re: Onovo Assures Of Crime-free Society by Nobody: 6:08pm On Jul 25, 2009 |
I doubt any criticism of him will be tolerated. Neither will his detractors be allowed free rein, like with other politicians. No free airtime for amebo journalists. get with the game, people. That's showbiz. |
| Re: Onovo Assures Of Crime-free Society by AloyEmeka9: 6:17pm On Jul 25, 2009 |
It's an unfair statement to say another human being looks sinister. If such statement came from a white person, you guys will call him racist. has a striking resemblance with late Dr Michael Okpara  |
| Re: Onovo Assures Of Crime-free Society by Recognise: 6:28pm On Jul 25, 2009 |
McKren: Original post: @McKren - McKren Where in the above excerpt did he pledge a crime free society? He pledged to continue from where his predecessor stopped fighting crime Yeah right, from where his predecessor stopped and turned a blind eye after his wife absconded with the bank's millions of naira . . . and by the way McKren, you too need to concentrate on your spellings or use spell check to pick up "gramma" . . . Joke  |

According to Zebrudaya Okorigbogro alias 4:30, the only person that can promise to stop all crimes is the man who would confirm that he is the Chairman of the criminals and that they held a meeting where agree to stop crimes. any other person in just ranting. |

The IG has promised more armed robbery in the country, more crimes, more rapes, more 419, more yahoo, yahoo, in fact, he has promised more police brutality. Does the above statement sound better than the one made by Mr Onovo? you fools. |
