The state commissioner of police, Adebowale Lawal, disclosed this in an interview with journalists in Akure on Friday.

The commissioner explained that the sanction followed complaints received from members of the public during the period.

“So far, so good, about eight officers of the command have been sanctioned in the last two months,” he said.

Mr Lawal said the command, under his leadership, was adhering strictly to the professional ethics and norms of the Nigeria Police.

He noted that the command had given members of the public avenues to make complaints and show their grievances about erring officers.

“We have the monitoring units, we have the provost, and we have the complaint response unit (CRU).

“So, once we get complaints about any officer, that person faces it. Some have been detained, while some have been queried. It depends on your rank or whether you face the room trial,” the police boss said.

Mr Lawal commended the public for the command’s success in the past two months. He asked the public to make their complaints known to the divisional police officer, police area commander, or to call him directly.

He urged the members of the public to continue to feed the command with appropriate information to ensure the safety and protection of lives and property.

The CP appreciated Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun for the prompt salary payment of the police. He noted that some personnel had been promoted because of their excellent performance, while others were rewarded.

The CP stated that the IGP had made it a priority to train and retrain personnel in diligent investigation and crime fighting so that there would be strong prosecution of suspects in courts.

Mr Lawal added that the command had prepared an operation order for the ember months to ensure that the last quarter of the year was crime-free in Ondo State.
