Edgar Imohimi, new Lagos
comissioner of police, on Wednesday highlighted his plans and programmes.
Imohimi
spoke at a briefing held at the police officers’ mess in Ikeja, Lagos.
The new CP said being familiar
with the terrain of the nation’s commercial hub, he will capitalize on his
experience.
He warned against illegal
detention by vigilance groups, insisting that is not their job.
“I already to OPC and others. We
will work with any group ready to work with us but they must act within the
ambit of the law”, the CP said.
“Use of firearms is also a key
issue. I have informed officers and men against indiscriminate use. When they
can open fire is clearly spelt out and they must not flout established rules.
“Drug dealers are in trouble.
Anybody dealing in illicit drugs, narcotics should be ready for me. We will go
after all those who engage in the act.
“Anti-kidnapping and anti-cultism
task force has been unbundled. They will now operate separately. I believe this
will ensure more effectiveness.
“I intend to fight corruption. We
have set up a Citizens Complaints Hot Centre that will operate from the Lagos
command intelligence laboratory.
“Dedicated phone lines and
e-mails will be functional from 6pm this evening. Complaints will be received
24 hours in Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and English and pidgin.
“The numbers are as follows
08067946296; 08063025274; 08063124759; 08113683077; 08097283173; 08089781657;
08126404930: 08081426895”.
