PRESS RELEASE OF 15TH JULY, 2025


CP ABOKI DANJUMA BANS USE OF MINI-BUSES AND UNMARKED VEHICLES BY TACTICAL TEAMS; WARNS OF STRICT SANCTIONS


The Commissioner of Police, Imo State Command, CP ABOKI DANJUMA, has issued a firm directive banning all tactical teams from using unmarked vehicles, including mini-buses and tricycles (Keke), for patrols across the state.


This action follows numerous complaints of harassment, intimidation, and extortion by some tactical officers operating in unapproved vehicles while on routine patrols.


The CP described the act as grossly unprofessional and warned that any team found violating this directive will face immediate sanctions. Commanders of such teams will be vicariously held liable.


The Command reiterates its commitment to upholding professionalism, accountability, and ethical policing standards in line with the vision of the Inspector-General of Police.


All units are directed to comply strictly, and members of the public are encouraged to report any violations.
