Abia CP React To Viral Crime Suspect Posts Online

The Commissioner of Police, Abia State Command, CP Danladi Isa, has issued a strong warning to officers under his command against posting the faces of crime suspects on social media or meddling in civil matters.

He also cautioned them against unprofessional conduct, extortion, improper dressing while on duty, unlawful detention in minor cases, and poor handling of complaints and reports.

Speaking on Monday during a strategic meeting with Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers, Tactical Team Commanders, and Departmental Heads, the CP warned against unauthorized transfers of officers on one-year attachments, misconduct, and impunity.

CP Isa directed that officers must ensure zero loss of personnel or arms, while stressing that all cases reported by communities must undergo proper preliminary investigation before being transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further action.

He urged officers to lead by example, noting that true leadership is reflected in one’s conduct. He further encouraged continuous professional development, early retirement planning, and prioritizing health.

The Police Commissioner also reiterated that the enforcement of tinted glass permits will commence on 2nd October 2025, warning officers to carry out the exercise with the highest level of professionalism, without extorting or exploiting motorists.

The meeting was held in line with the directives of the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.
