Coomassie lauds Ribadu over an
Former Inspector-General of Police Ibrahim Coomassie has saluted Deputy Commissioner of Police Nuhu Ribadu for boosting the image of the police force.
Coomassie told newsmen in Kaduna at the weekend that the appointment of Ribadu as the head of EFCC, the federal government’s anti-graft agency, was an image booster for the police.
He dismissed insinuations that Ribadu, by virtue of his rank, was not capable of heading the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
“What matters most in the fight against corruption is integrity and honesty, not the rank of the officer saddled with such responsibility,” Coomassie said.
He, however, frowned at the “behaviour of some policemen who collect N20 bribe from motorists”, saying such policemen could technically be described as armed robbers.
Coomassie criticised the recent demand by some police personnel for the payment of monetised allowances to the police.
The former police boss said the federal government was duty bound to ensure decent accommodation for all police officers and men.
He described police barracks across the country as ghettos which deserved urgent rehabilitation and renovation.
Coomassie called on the government to find a lasting solution to the frequent clashes between police and soldiers in the country.
He said the ransacking of police stations by soldiers at any slight provocation or misunderstanding with the police was inimical to the nation’s quest for stability and security.
