Deputy Inspector General of Police, DIG; Information Communication and Technology, ICT; in charge of the South South region, DIG Daniel Pedro has rated Rivers State as one of the states with lowest report of crimes.

The DIG made this known in Port Harcourt when he visited Rivers State in continuation of his tour to the south south six States commands under him.

DIG Pedro revealed that he was in the state to discuss certain things with his officers and also to encourage them to keep up with the good works.

I will keep on encouraging CP Disu.Even without encouragement, he is doing well. Both the officers and the CP are doing well .I gathered informations on my own. I will always encourage them to do better, I am afraid when CP Disu leaves here one day,it may be difficult to fill his gap.

I used indices of crime such as Cultism,Armed Robbery and Kidnapping in the month of April to appraise the states. The least incident of kidnapping in the six state commands was Rivers in south-South.

In cases of Armed Robbery,Rivers and Bayelsa had just one each in the same month.On cultism,Rivers and Bayelsa Commands came last with just three cases each out of 35. We all know that crime is a big venture. Police role is to complement other security forces .If you want to sleep with your two eyes close,you have a role to play as civilian. He said

In his welcome address, Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu said the visit of the DIG is coming at the right time when his advice is needed to spice up the officers of the command.

"On assumption of duty I went round to appraise the security situation.More disturbing was killing of SP Bako,the DPO of Ahoada Police Division.They were flushed out after my assumption of office, the CP added.

CP Disu stated that the Rivers State Police Command has a good working relationship with the state Government.

The Rivers Police Boss listed shortage of Anti-riot equipment, manpower and operational vehicles as some challenges facing the command while pleading with the IGP to look into it.

Our correspondent reports that Assistant Inspector General of Police Zone 16, AIG; Paul Omota and other senior officers were in attendance.
