Reacting to a purported rumour of a withdrawal of Policemen from His Excellency, Hon. Agboola Ajayi, the Deputy Governor of Ondo State, by Ondo Police Command, CP Bolaji said this is never of his interest.
Let it be clearly understood that the posting of Policemen to Deputy Governors in the country is the prerogative of the Inspector-General of Police and no Commissioner of Police can call for their withdrawal. However, let it be known that Policemen attached to Government Houses take directives from the Chief Security Officer to the Governor who can post and withdraw according to the reason and purpose that suit him. But cannot for whatever reason withdraw Policemen posted from the Force Headquarters to a Deputy Governor.
CP Salami said those pruning this rumour against him should know that he is in the State to serve every one and would therefore not do anything that may be inimical to the live and property of any one, referring to the rumour as the figment of the imagination of mischief makers.
He further said it has become an artistic and aesthetic mess in Nigeria to see citizens disparaging their own Police, saying, even in the heat of pervasive disagreement no Commissioner of Police would withdraw Police services from any individual; knowing that the reason for policing is the protection of lives and property
CP Salami Amidu Bolaji therefore enjoins the good people of Ondo State to save his person and Ondo Police Command from this orchestrated rumour, while promising the people that Ondo State Police Command will always provide adequate and purposeful policing to all at all times.
