The Inspector General of Police ( IGP ) Ibrahim K. Idris, yesterday in Kano, warned junior Police officers, who were given motorcycle loan to enhance security in the state against selling the motorbikes.
Idris, who gave the advice during the distribution of 500 motorcycles to Junior officers at the Kano Police Command Headquarters in Bompai, Kano, said that the officers should not in any way sell the motorbike, irrespective of their financial challenges.
The IGP, who was represented by the AIG zone 1, Daniel Bature, charged the junior officers to make judicious use of the motorcycles, which the IGP has provided them, in order to relieve their transportation challenges in performing their responsibilities of protection of life and property.
“I urge you all not to be tempted into selling off these bikes at cheap prices. I decided to support you with these motorcycles after considering what some of you pass through to get to your places of duty. These motorcycles will help you to beat time and report to work on time, as well as for other personal uses at home”.
Furthermore, Ibrahim restated his commitment to making life comfortable for police personnel, who have sacrificed their lives for the service of the nation, adding that the gesture is just the face phase of many more welfare packages lined up for the police..
However, he warned that no police officer should dispose the motorcycle distributed to them in order to make quick money, as such move would not be tolerated.
