The Imo State Commissioner of Police, CP Aboki Danjuma, has charged newly graduated police constables from the Nigeria Police Training School, Nekede, Owerri, to uphold the core values of the Nigeria Police Force and demonstrate the highest level of professionalism in the discharge of their duties.
CP Danjuma gave this charge during the Passing Out Parade (POP) ceremony for 264 constables of the 2022/2023 Batch B, held at the Police Training School, Nekede. The event formed part of a nationwide graduation ceremony for police recruits who have successfully completed months of intensive physical, tactical, and academic training aimed at improving internal security and law enforcement capacity.
According to the spokesperson of the Imo State Police Command, DSP Henry Okoye, the passing-out recruits comprise 159 indigenes of Imo State and 105 from Abia State. He explained that the recruits have undergone a rigorous process of character building, discipline, and law enforcement training, positioning them to effectively contribute to national security.
Representing the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, CP Danjuma delivered the IGP’s goodwill message, congratulating the graduates for their endurance, commitment, and dedication during their training. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the Nigeria Police Force’s core values—discipline, integrity, courage, and professionalism—while urging them to perform their duties with fairness and strict adherence to the rule of law and respect for human rights.
In a goodwill address delivered on behalf of the Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodimma, CSP Shaba Gboyako Adamu commended the Nigeria Police Force for its efforts in maintaining peace and security across the state. Governor Uzodimma applauded the IGP’s reform-driven leadership and enjoined the new officers to see their new role not merely as a privilege, but as a sacred national duty to defend justice, safeguard lives, and uphold the rule of law.
He further urged the recruits to conduct themselves with honesty and humility, avoiding any form of corruption or abuse of power that could tarnish the image of the Police Force. The Governor also emphasized the importance of community policing, encouraging officers to collaborate with local leaders, traditional rulers, and youth organizations in their respective areas of assignment to enhance intelligence gathering and public trust.
The Commandant of the Police Training School, Nekede, ACP Rilwanu Shuaibu, expressed appreciation to the Inspector-General of Police for his continued support and to CP Aboki Danjuma for his leadership and mentorship throughout the training period. He congratulated the graduates, reminding them that their success in the force would be determined by their adherence to the discipline and values instilled in them during training.
The colourful ceremony concluded with a parade by the newly commissioned constables, who pledged their allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Nigeria Police Force—signifying their readiness to serve with courage, honour, and professionalism.
