Thirty-seven Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) promoted to the rank of Superintendents of Police (SPs) in Akwa Ibom have been decorated by the state Police Commissioner Mr Olatoye Durosinmi.
At the ceremony in Uyo yesterday, Durosinmi charged them to improve their professionalism in consonance with extant laws and be civil to members of the public.
The commissioner also charged them to eschew every form of corruption in line with the directives of the Inspector General (IG) while having greater respect for the fundamental human rights of the people.
Meanwhile the CP has warned impersonators of Police and other Agencies to desist forthwith after personnel of Anti-cultism Squad of the Command arrested one Vincent Sampson Enuneku, 43, for impersonation and being in possession of large substance, suspected to be Indian hemp.
The suspect was arrested on the 28th of June, 2022 in Uyo while attempting to use his fake Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) ID card to prevent the arrest of a wanted criminal.
A release from the State Police Public Relations Officer, Odiko Macdon said investigation revealed that the suspect uses the ID card to pass through check points freely while transporting Indian hemp and other prohibited items to Akwa Ibom State.
He was alleged to also have been using the ID card to extort and harass innocent members of the public, thereby bringing the image of the Force to disrepute.
