'We must reinvigorate stop and search, effectively man black spots and sustain the present tempo in raid of criminal hideouts,' Mr Egbetokun said.
The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 7, Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the Federal Capital Territory Police Command to intensify stop and search operations.
The AIG said the essence of police duties was the protection and promotion of human rights, adding that, every offence is a violation of somebody’s right. He called on the command to sustain its strategic partnership with other security agencies and stakeholders. “Scavenging has been banned within the FCT and we must not allow them to continue to operate,” he added.
