AIG Zone 2, Abdulmajid Ali
The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos, AIG Abdulmajid Ali, has ordered that mental test be carried out on policemen and women in the command.
The AIG also ordered drunkenness test on all personnel in the command, saying the move has become necessary in order to “avoid any accidental discharge or extrajudicial killing.”
A statement yesterday by Command spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the AIG dropped the directive while he spoke during a newly introduced educative session for officers and men of the zonal command at Onikan, Lagos.
The statement partly read: “The police boss reiterated his zero tolerance for corruption, excessive use of force, dirtiness, incivility to the public, drunkenness and unethical conducts that can damage the image of the Nigeria Police Force.
“He seized the opportunity to challenge policemen to read and imbibe the spirit of love to all and sundry they come in contact with.
“The AIG mandated the police medical unit to carry out drunkenness and mental checks on men (particularly those on operations) of the command to avoid any accidental discharge of extrajudicial killings.”
