Mr. Mba added that the dismissal of Mr. Omeleze is in line with the new Nigerian police zero tolerance for unethical and unprofessional conducts.
The police warn that it will not fail to weed out the bad eggs, while well behaved officers will be appropriately rewarded; it also urges Nigerians to like the motorist, join in the policing of policemen to help rid the force of corrupt officers.
