The Commissioner of Police (CP) in Imo State, CP Aboki Danjuma, has ordered a comprehensive investigation into a viral video allegedly showing police officers within the command displaying signs or engaging in activities linked to a cult group.
While specific, recent details of a video showing “cult insignia” are not explicitly detailed in recent reports, the move aligns with the Imo State Police Command’s recent stringent stance against all forms of misconduct by its personnel.
Key Context:
- Zero Tolerance Policy: CP Danjuma has repeatedly emphasized a zero-tolerance policy for unprofessional and criminal conduct among officers, which includes extortion, harassment, human rights violations, and any form of discreditable conduct like cultism.
- Past Disciplinary Actions: Under CP Danjuma’s leadership, the command has taken public disciplinary actions, including demotions and severe reprimands, against officers involved in viral videos showing assault and extortion, demonstrating a commitment to accountability.
- Investigation Order: The directive for a probe into the cult insignia video signifies the command’s effort to address public concerns immediately and maintain the integrity of the force. If the investigation confirms the allegations, the officers involved are expected to face an orderly room trial and be severely sanctioned in line with the Nigeria Police Force disciplinary regulations.
The order serves as a strong caution to all officers to comply strictly with police laws and ethical standards, as any proven link to cultism constitutes a serious breach of discipline and public trust.
