Police officers arrested for ignoring Baki’s warnings

A number of police officers have already been arrested for ignoring warnings issued by Police Commissioner Gari Baki.

Early this year, Baki had advised officers to ensure that order and justice prevails in the force. However, some officers chose to overlook his words.

NCDC Metropolitan Superintendent Ben Turi said: “Recently, another two officers were arrested and charged by the Criminal Investigative Division (CID)”.

One was arrested for being drunk and being disorderly in public, says Turi.

 He adds that getting bribes for the release of suspects will not be tolerated as well as this will call for termination and dismissal from the constabulary.

“This also goes for routine offenders who do things that go unnoticed on a daily basis.”

Police constables, duty officers, both uniform and civilians, as well as new recruits, have been urged to uphold justice and integrity for the general population in NCDC.

“Service and respect goes both ways,” he adds.

“The public needs us and we need the public.”
