Mr Dan Bature, an Assistant Inspector-General (AIG) of Police in Charge of Zone 11 comprising Oyo, Osun and Ondo states, says any policeman checking vehicle particulars on the highways is on illegal duty.

Bature said this on Wednesday in Ibadan during a two-day familiarisation visit to Oyo State.

He said that the duty of the police was not to check vehicle particulars but to ensure safer roads.

Bature warned policemen against blocking high ways, saying police patrol vehicles were not supposed to be toll gates.

He said the Inspector General of Police (IGP) was committed to changing the negative image of the police and supporting the anticorruption war of the Federal Government.

Bature advised officers unable to key into the laudable initiatives of the IGP to resign from the force.

He said that a lot was expected by the public from the police, adding that this informed the monitoring of officers.

“The Inspector General of Police is determined to improve on your welfare and pursue the increment of your salary.

“But this can only be achieved when the people have good perception about the police, “Bature said.

Earlier, Sam Adegbuyi, the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, said that the officers were dedicated and patriotic.

Adegbuyi said that in view of the population of Oyo State, the command needed to create three more Area Commands in addition to the existing four commands.

He commended the AIG, Oyo government and the Police Community Relation Committee for the successes recorded so far in the fight against crime.

I hope his words carry weight.

Seeing as this wasn't from the IG himself, I doubt his pronouncement will see the light of day. A flashlight, maybe.

AIG Bature..Correct Sound Police Officer. It will be good this is well enforced!!

Errrrrm how does one tell a drunk police officer armed with an assault rifle in the night that he is on Illegal duty when he request to see your vehicle particulars

Hmm this is easier said than acts on. What I fear in every policemen is not the gun nor their uniforms. But their illiteracy. Illiteracy +gun in their hands=makes them the devil

Everything is legal to the people who carry guns o

I don't like this news. Police should check particulars. my mechanic's car was stolen the other day but because he lives very close to his workshop he doesn't drive with his papers in his car. The thief was later stopped at a check point cause he couldn't produce the vehicle particulars he said he would go home to get it and abandoned the car there. Even the police did not know it was a stolen car

Yeye; like say no be you put them for road
Those guys need serious reforms; bunch of useless mofos

Confusion

Wow sir.. But we have already known a long time ago..

Sir.. our problem is how to tell a drunk gun wielding policeman at night in a deserted place that AIG said...

Sir.. in developed countries.. patrol cars get cams.. the report of the policemen are usually backed up by this cams..

Of course, corruption wont allow una implement am.

They've turned it to money making venture. There are some rascals attached to Oyo state in ikire- egbeda area. Those police can kill because of money.

Uhh.. Is this a good news?

Not too sure.

Hw do thy check 4 stolen cars then...

Hmm.. It is better to let them check the particulars to avoid story that touches the heart. The A/IG will not be there to hold back his trigger happy men in black.

For your safety, please obey the policeman on the highway and give him his 'green card' on demand to avoid accidental discharge.

Words without action ..iranu

Rubbish, that's how the always talk..
Bring measures that will curb it, the will never do so..
Nigerian Police Force is a gathering of animals wearing uniform.
Those urchins are worst than armed robbers in the sense that, armed robbers will not hide their identity and intention of robbing you.

Police wears uniforms to rob, kill and maim.
Bloody assholesss

For nigeria?
Even boys scout, kai, lawma , boys brigade dey check vehicle party cooler

If its not on the police website then its not authentic.

Nigeria policemen are the biggest fraud of the decade. Followed by efcc and then zombies. Wait,zombies take 2nd spot,wait,apc,wait..mtchew..

Beware of policeman because they are ur worst nightmare

Akuko,,,,,no be police wey dey Anambra you dey tell so ooooo!!!

tell dem



"They see me rolling, they hating"







"patrolling and tryna catch me riding durty"

Dem go hear?

Good one. But how do you convince an illiterate policeman that AIG actually said this?

I hope this is strictly adhered to.
Police reputation is in dare need of positive change.

'Good talk'

Passengers on buses, taxis and keke Napep have to help motivate drivers not to comply with Police and Army officers who always request for money and vehicle particulars.

These suppose officers are well known for it

Recently, more of them, just stop any of the buses, taxis and keke napep demand for money or they direct the driver to park

This order is wrong and I think police should continue to check vehicle particulars bc with that robbers, kidnappers, bombers may be arrested notwithstanding the "Rojas" the boyz are collecting.

Good one but those officers dey gree hear word?
