IGP Olukayode Egbetokun, the acting Inspector-General of Police, has said that all police convey must observe traffic regulations starting with his convoy.
The police chief on Monday, June 26 gave the order when he met with Mobile Police Squadron and commanders at the Force headquarters.
He,‘’ Let me end this speech by reminding you that those who keep the peace must be the epitome of peace. Those whose duty is to enforce the laws of the land must respect and obey the laws of the land. Without obeying the laws, the Police lack the moral high ground to interrogate and bring lawbreakers to book.
Consequently, in line with my vision of building a rule of law-compliant Police Force, it is my directive that henceforth all police convoys on routine, non-emergency movement, must obey traffic lights and other traffic rules, I pledge to lead by example in this regard. As you will be returning to your various bases, I wish you a safe journey and please be assured of my best wishes always.”
