The Commissioner of Police in Akwa Ibom State, Waheed Ayilara has promised to uphold the rule of law, and professionalism, and have the utmost respect for fundamental human rights.

Ayilara also promised to tackle unprofessionalism among police officers, saying undisciplined officers are a threat to the policing family, the community and the state he serves.

Speaking during a maiden press conference in Uyo on Monday with some select journalists, the CP promised to make the state safe and secure for the people.

He vowed to raid criminal hideouts to fish out all criminals and make the state too hot for criminal elements and their collaborators.

“My primary goal is to foster a safe and secure environment for every resident. Together, we will work tirelessly to uphold the rule of law, promote accountability and ensure the safety of all indigenes and the residents of the state.

“The challenges we may face will be met with resilience, innovation, and a shared dedication to upholding the ideals of justice and security.

“I am using this medium to prevail on all criminals and their collaborators in the state to pack your bags and luggage and relocate from the state.

“It is not going to be business as usual. We shall take the battle to your hideouts and deny you freedom of action anywhere in the state”, he stated.

The CP said the Command will collaborate with other security agencies and critical stakeholders for a safe state and called on residents to embrace peace and resist any temptation to resort to violence, threat or misinformation on social media that may threaten the security of the state.
