In response to a surge of public complaints regarding harassment, intimidation, and extortion, the Imo State Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma, has issued a strict directive prohibiting all tactical teams from using unmarked vehicles, including mini-buses and tricycles (Keke), for patrol operations across the state.
The new directive, announced in a press statement by Command Spokesperson DSP Henry Okoye, aims to curb unprofessional conduct by some tactical officers.
