Police Ban Siren, Tinted Cars In Rivers
The new Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Mbu Joseph Mbu, has banned the arbitrary use of siren and tinted vehicles by government officials and military officers in the state.
The state commissioner of police announced the ban last Wednesday during a brief handing /taking over ceremony held at the police headquarters, in Port Harcourt to mark the official change of baton of leadership in the state police command.
Mbu, however, said that the ban excludes the state governor, deputy, Speaker of the state House of Assembly, the Chief Judge, the Military Commanders in the state.
According to him, the order does not also affect those on special duties such as fire service, emergency workers and ambulances, adding that they were covered by the law to use siren while driving on the road.
He warned members of the public, especially military and police personnel who cultivate the habit of hooting siren while conveying foreign nationals to desist from such act or be ready to face the full weight of the law, adding that anybody caught flouting the order would be arrested.
The state police boss also used the opportunity to warn those driving vehicles with tinted glass as well as vehicles without plate numbers to stop forthwith, warning that anybody caught driving such vehicles without authorisation from the Presidency and the Inspector General of Police would be arrested.
He warned that his leadership would not tolerate any act of indiscipline in the force.
“I will not compromise discipline, don’t use excessive force on the civilians, don’t be involved in civil matters and report any civil cases to court”, the commissioner said, warning that any police officer found dressing shabbily will be disciplined in accordance with laws of the force.
He vowed to revive community policing in the state and assured officers and men of improved welfare, while soliciting media support in efforts to achieve a crime free society.
