The Assistant Inspector-General of
Police in charge of Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos, AIG Abdulmajid Ali,
has ordered that mental test be carried out on policemen in the command
The AIG, who also ordered drunkenness
test on all personnel of the command, said the move was necessary in
order to “avoid any accidental discharge or extrajudicial killing.”
Adejobi said the session was meant to
impart principles of modern policing and injecting learning and reading
culture towards having people-oriented policemen.
“The police boss reiterated his zero
tolerance for corruption, excessive use of force, dirtiness, incivility
to the public, drunkenness and unethical conducts that can damage the
image of the Nigeria Police Force.
“He seized the opportunity to challenge
policemen to read and imbibe the spirit of love to all and sundry they
come in contact with.
“The AIG mandated the police medical
unit to carry out drunkenness and mental checks on men (particularly
those on operations) of the command to avoid any accidental discharge of
extrajudicial killings,” the statement read in part.
The health management teams from the
Police Medical Department and selected health institutions later
lectured policemen on the need for regular checkups to avoid sudden
deaths.
