Bello was quoted as saying, “In every profession, there are bad eggs and we will not condemn the police in totality because of a few. You should not be deterred in discharging your constitutional responsibilities as the breakdown of law and order cannot be welcomed by this administration.”

He said the policemen should also present their cases to the commission of enquiry if they have been brutalised.

The Commissioner of Police Adamu Usman, commended the state government for identifying with them at this time, saying they would always carry out their duties in a dignified manner.

Meanwhile, the chairman of pan-socio-cultural groups in Benue State, Mdzough U Tiv, Ochtoha’Idoma and Omi’Ngede, Iorbee Ihagh (retd.) on Friday said if it was true that policemen had deserted their duty posts, they should return, adding that they were on federal highways within the state.

He added, “We are in ember months and approaching Christmas period when security along the highway needs to be beefed up. So if it is true the report that policemen are off the road, I think they should return and not allow the aftermath of #EndSARS protest to stop them from providing security to Nigerians. I will advise that they should be professional in their conduct.”

Security agencies won’t abdicate duties –GOC

Warning miscreants and criminals, Omozoje said, “The Nigeria Police is an organ of the Federal Government for maintaining law and order. Likewise, the military takes care of security. We are partners on the same assignments.

“I’m here today to condole with the police command on the losses suffered during the recent crises in our society, and to let them know that we are together on this assignment. The military is out in support of the police and other security agencies of government are also out. This is also to sound a note of warning to all miscreants and criminals who think they can occupy the society. That will never happen. We will not surrender the society to criminals.”

Also, Enwonwu, said policemen had been encouraged not to succumb to threat and intimidation by criminals when they return to the streets to carry out their lawful duties.

Corps Marshal orders officials back to the roads

Also, the Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, has ordered the immediate resumption of all operational activities in FRSC formations across the country.

In a statement on Friday, FRSC spokesperson, Bisi Kazeem, said the Corps Marshal gave the order in a memo to the commanding officers following the urgent need to keep the roads safe, enforce maximum compliance to road traffic regulations and safety guides.

Oyeyemi also mourned the victims of the fatal crash that occurred in Enugu State on Wednesday.

“And one of the key strategy towards achieving this is the full deployment of personnel and increased visibility of patrol teams on the highways,” the statement titled, ‘Go back to the roads, Corps Marshal orders personnel,’ read.

Conveying the governor’s directive, the Information Commissioner, Mr Chidi Aroh, said, “His Excellency has directed the Commissioner, Enugu State Ministry of Transport to forthwith deploy all staff of the Enugu State Traffic Management Authority to all the major roads within the Enugu Capital Territory to ensure free and orderly flow of traffic.

“The directive, according to Aroh, “is to ensure immediate restoration of normalcy in the traffic situation in the Capital Territory, which has become chaotic since the unfortunate disruption of activities by miscreants and hoodlums who hijacked the otherwise peaceful #EndSARS protests.”

Let them concentrate their energy to solving the youths request first, then the police with gladly return to duty...

We have been enjoying some peace on our highways since a week now.

this long epistle unto one matter.. return or quit the job...what is this Abasi mbok

Link?

Reading dix is like reading a complete bible

The PSC director is just sitting in his fully furnished air conditioned office vomiting thrash. No police officer will witness how his colleagues were burnt like kilishi and still feel encouraged to resume work.

They have been demoralized and depressed by recent uprising.

In Agege axis of Lagos, 3 out of 4 police stations got razed by hoodlums (Isokoko, Railway, Pen Cinema).

Pray tell, are the affected personnel to work or resume to duty from home ?

The police service commission needs to overhaul the whole system, make sure they are adequately remunerated, well protected, insured with good kits provided.

SARs caused all these issues. They should teach them to work professionally this time, didn't support the killing of the Normal police officers, the main SARs guys have all gone underground...
One thing I have noticed now is that people haven't been harassed for sometime now, military guys on the way will just check your car and tell you to move without stress. Police should come back as an upright unit now

No single police from Victoria Island, Ikoyi to Balogun

All these wahala would have been avoided if government had acted during the outcry by youths regarding the excesses of Sars and police in general.
Well as usual, as Nigerians, things have to spoil first before we act.

Our President olfactory not functioning well

Can we just sell this country and share the proceeds make everyone go find him own preferred country.

For Policemen in burnt Police stations, do they resume in the burnt stations?
The Policemen who were killed has the PSC visited their widows and families?

Let the PSC shout from now till infinity, if they don't take care of those Policemen, nothing o.

Better warn them to desist from extorting motorists

I hope the commissioner is not refering to their illegal stop and search posts...
Very incompetent way to approach his fellow colleagues (though junior officer) ....why threatening them with dismissal instead of reforming they are stopping low to threat!!!!

If you are a Police Officer out there kindly know that the public sphere is still in its hot aftermath with regards to the #EndSARS + #EndSWAT protests so make sure you apply decorum to your policing expertise!

Proactivity Leads To Productivity!
