Abia CP disbands anti-cultism unit, demotes officer for misconduct
The Abia State Commissioner of Police, Danladi Isa, has disbanded the command’s anti-cultism unit and demoted Corporal Okonkwo Ebuka to the rank of constable for unprofessional conduct.
In a statement on Tuesday, the command’s spokesperson, Maureen Chinaka, said the unit was disbanded “for Unprofessional conduct and incivility towards members of the public.”
“Additionally, F/No: 527324 Corporal Okonkwo Ebuka, attached to Area Command, Aba, but on special duty at Isuochi, was demoted from corporal to constable.”
Ms Chinaka said the decision to demote the corporal “followed the conclusion of an administrative action in which he was tried in an orderly room and found guilty for discreditable and unprofessional conduct and incivility to members of the public.”
According to the statement, the police commissioner said the decisive action aligns with the vision of the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to establish a professionally competent, service-driven, rule of law-compliant, and people-friendly force.
Stressing the command’s zero-tolerance for actions by officers that could tarnish the good image of the force, the commissioner encouraged members of the public to report unprofessional conduct by officers to the Complaint Response Unit Abia Command via 09031593827.
