NO FEMALE POLICE OFFICER WILL BE EJECTED FROM BARRACKS FOR RESIDING WITH CIVILIAN SPOUSE, SAYS IGP

• Orders Investigations into viral signal suggesting otherwise

In reactions to the online media reports that, the Enugu State Police Command has ordered female police officers living with their male civilian husbands in the barracks to vacant the apartments, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba,  has assured that no female police officer in the barracks will be ejected.

In a press statement e-signed and released to the National Association of Online Security News Publishers (NAOSNP) by the Force Public Relations Officer, CP Frank Mba stated that, "The Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, psc (+), NPM, fdc, has assured that no female Police Officer in Police Barracks across the country would be ejected for residing with civilian spouse.

The IGP gave the assurance while reacting to a signal purportedly originated by the Enugu State Police Command, stating that women Police personnel occupying barracks accommodation with their civilian husbands should vacate before 31st January, 2022."

The IGP, who is miffed with the said “directive”, described it as unlawful, discriminatory, obnoxious, reprehensive and totally out of tune with the concept of equality as enshrined in our Constitution.

He noted that the “directive” is not in line with the Force Gender Policy which institutionalizes gender mainstreaming as a core value in the Nigeria Police Force.

The IGP further noted that a Police Force that has produced several top-ranking, successful female officers, including Deputy Inspectors General of Police (DIGs), Assistant Inspectors General of Police (AIGs), State Command Commissioners of Police, Area Commanders, DPOs, eminent Spokespersons, an Olympic Gold Medallist, amongst others, will never walk such a retrogressive path.

Meanwhile, the IGP has ordered the Force Provost Marshal to carry out immediate investigations into the viral document and assures stern disciplinary action against any person(s) found wanting.

He calls on members of the public, particularly, female Police Officers and their families, who might have become disturbed as a result of the unconscientious directive, to ignore same as the said illegal order is null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

The IGP further assures that the Force remains committed to advancing the general well-being, rights and privileges of its personnel, irrespective of rank or gender.

ANAMBRA ELECTION: NSCDC BOSS READS RIOT ACT TO PERSONNEL ON ELECTION DUTY

The Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Ahmed Audi, PhD, mni, paid a situational assessment visit to Anambra State ahead of the Saturday, November 6, governorship election.

He read the Riot Act to personnel and charged them on the use of minimum force and utmost professional conduct during the exercise.

The CG made it clear to the Corps personnel deployed for election duty in Anambra state that the rules of engagement must be strictly adhered to and all must observe the highest level of professionalism, civility, decorum and respect for the rights of all voters coming out to exercise their franchise in order to elect the next governor for the state.

He expressed confidence in the preparedness of INEC and all stakeholders involved in the electioneering process, reassuring that the election will hold peacefully and successfully without rancor or acrimony as the Corps is working in synergy and collaboration with other sister agencies to forestall any form of attack on voters, security agencies, sensitive and non-sensitive election materials, INEC permanent and ad-hoc staff and all other apparatuses deployed to ensure a hitch free election.

Dr Audi warned personnel to be civil in their approach and avoid excessive use of force, molestation, intimidation or harassment of voters during the election.

Reiterating that, the Corps has a duty to protect lives and property of all citizens of the state irrespective of their political affinity. Emphasizing that NSCDC is apolitical in nature, civil in orientation but very dogged in its operations.

He appealed to all citizens of the state to embrace peace and eschew violence or anything that is capable of jeopardizing the democratic process as election is not war, hence, the need to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Dr Audi further urged the people of the state to be law abiding and go about their legitimate businesses without any fear of violent or deadly attacks as measures have been put in place ahead of the process to guarantee a well secured environment and arrest any breach of peace or vandalism of critical national assets and infrastructure of government before, during and after the election.

He reiterated that the Corps will be deploying the twenty thousand (20) personnel drawn from Anambra state and other neighbouring state commands to all nooks and crannies of the state for overt and covert operations.

Warning the arms bearing personnel that accidental discharge is not contained in the Corps' Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), as such, no one should be found wanting in this regard because human life is very sacrosanct and any personnel that takes law into his hands by killing or maiming anyone unjustly will be seriously dealt with.

He Congratulated the personnel on behalf of the Minister of Interior for the anticipated good conduct in the task ahead and assured them that their welfare and safety is uppermost in his mind and being given the best of attention under his leadership to motivate and encourage them to shun all vices of corruption and compromise which is capable of tarnishing the hard-earned reputation and integrity of the Corps.

"What is due to ceaser must be given to ceaser and the era of monkey dey work, baboon dey chop is over under my administration, the CG said.
