By Deborah Akpede

Mr Simeon Akpanudom, AIG FCID Annex Lagos, has banned Point of Sale (POS) operations within the FCID premises in line with directives from the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Olatunji Disu.

He charged officers to uphold professionalism, discipline and strict adherence to due process in duty discharge.

He gave the charge on Thursday during a general lecture and meeting with sectional heads at FCID Annex Lagos.

In a statement by FCID Annex spokesperson, ASP Aminat Mayegun, the ban aligns with directives from the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Olatunji Disu.

According to Akpanudom, such activities are incompatible with security and operational integrity and are often exploited to facilitate corrupt practices.

He directed that all intelligence reports must be thoroughly vetted and verified by sectional heads before submission.

He tasked sectional heads to ensure deliberate supervision of personnel and strict compliance with professional standards to minimise misconduct.

Akpanudom stated that land-related disputes should not be entertained by the department, insisting officers follow established investigative procedures.

He warned against unprofessional conduct, noting Nigeria Police must project a positive and credible public image.

He urged officers to respect hierarchy and uphold the established chain of command in duty performance.

The AIG reiterated that unprofessional acts would not be tolerated and would attract appropriate disciplinary measures.

He encouraged officers to remain committed to integrity, accountability and national service. (NAN)
