Bature And Security Challenges
Gallantry is the quality of courage demonstrated
by anyone in battle or other difficult-time to rescue another. The gallant officer overstretches self and refuses to bridle his life. He as well abnegates and extraordinarily instrumentalizes- patriotism no matter what. In societies where regulatory policies are not mere philosophic abstraction such fellows are ever made to stand tall in the society. These come in shapes of elevation, cash reward or even the bestowal of known honours.
Nigeria as a nation hold in high esteem such organizations as the army, navy, airforce as well as the police given their constitutional role of safe-guarding life and property. Others too fall under this category. Characteristically there are officers and men who from time to time within this fold become out-and- out in the discharge of their duty. Since it is not duty alone, suffice it to say that knowledge is good only instrumentally, and as the power of the brain can intertwine with physicality, a passionate observer notices optimal result.
This is why commentaries are inevitable given that our security situation have kept eliciting actions and reactions from all.
We seem to be noticing a shift from “conventional crimes” as stealing, advanced fee fraud, common assault, perjury, forcible entry etc to the hydra-headed or the high brow ones as insurrection. Gang rape, sadism even the use of gelignite – a powerful explosive for mass destruction. We are now witnesses to rovings in droves of those brandishing all manner of sophistication in terms of weaponry. No segment seem to be left out.
Everywhere is a flash point. There seem to be despair. The list of what has befallen us is inexhaustible. The question is – who will deliver us? An answer to this question will definitely put us in a position to appreciate our present alternatives.
Dan Bature the Rivers State Commissioner of Police can be said to be relatively new in the state, but occasional glimpses into his actions speak positive volumes, a thing that has endeared him to so many an observer.
Appreciably this landmark achievements range from forward-looking with an attendant view of nipping all manner of criminality in the bud. To Bature, it is about combating against crime, cohesion, strict adherence to rules propelled by team work. Also in the indices of crime fighting is dogedness and flat-out oppressions. All these have really yielded resounding victory even at the rustic setting. Policemen are now seen in the nooks and crannies of Rivers State, thereby restoring Hope and confidence in the command. Admittedly this is done defying all odds.
Other aspects of Dan Bature’s crime fighting architecture worthy of commendation is information management. Information is no longer divulged to the wrong circle. The constant lectures and briefings undoubtedly attests to this huge success. Further perspectives include treating the citizens with dignity and respect as well as protecting their fundamental human pights
Mention should be made also about the peaceful atmosphere in which recent celebrations went. This indeed did not happen by accident, but a deliberate action of the command, proving mastery in tactical oppressions. Bature must be patted on the back for this feat.
In the same vein the day-to-day effort of the divisional police officer – D.P.O Okehi Etche, Mr. Moses Edena, SP, is worthy of notes. Even the D.C.O, /Mr. Jackson Friday – DSP. The duo had been demonstrating that sleeplessness, monitoring and prompt responses to all distress calls are the true ingredients within the frontiers of crime-fighting. Though new, the DPO has translated lots of the good attempts of the CP into action.
To the duo the immediate ultimate is to reduce crime and criminality to the barest minimum particularly appreciable is that not minding the thrill of challenges, these men insist on instrumentalizing the crime -fighting steps of the Rivers State Commissioner. Arms and ammunition are being recovered from those illegally possessing them. Others are making promises of renouncing their nefarious activities.
To us all we can lend our hands of fellowship to avoid a relapse. The time to thank the Rivers State Police Commissioner, the divisional police officer, Okehi Etche and His ,divisional crime officer is now.
