The Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, has charged the police to respect the fundamental human rights of citizens, saying that bail is free.
Arase stated that any police command that was not accountable to the people it serves would not be successful.
He encouraged people in the community to report any policeman caught violating the law.
According to Arase, the force will soon recruit 10, 000 Nigerians in the Nigeria Police Force, adding that community security partnership is the way to enhance effectiveness of the police.
The police boss stated this at the Imo International Convention Centre, Owerri, on Friday during his one-day tour of duty in the state.
He commended the state governor and the Imo State Commissioner of Police, Taiwo Lakanu, for promoting community policing, which he said the Force Headquarters had been preaching.
In his speech, Okorocha acknowledged that security was vital to development.
“As the IGP said, this was to help checkmate the activities of hoodlums at the local level. They have aided in curbing to a greater level activities of hoodlums in the communities. My request for this is that Imo is at the centre and we have all it takes to have zonal command office in Owerri, Imo State,” Okorocha said.
