An
Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Joseph Mbu, has described himself as a
lion, who tamed the ‘leopard of Port Harcourt’.
Mbu, who
was apparently referring to Governor Rotimi Amaechi of River State where he
served as the Commissioner of Police before he was posted to Abuja stated that
it was only a lion that could tame a leopard.
Mbu, who
was recently promoted AIG, said this while handing over to the new FCT
Commissioner of Police, Wilson Inalegwu, on Monday in Abuja.
He advised
his successor to be firm in his dealings with policemen in his command and
avoid soiling himself.
“I advise
you (CP) to carry the senior officers along in your administration. It is only
a lion that can tame a leopard. I tamed the leopard in Port Harcourt; each time
he remembers my face, he would remember how I tamed him,” Mbu said, drawing
loud laughter from the audience.
He advised
Inalegwu to discourage policemen from going for special duties, noting that the
obligation of policemen was to the general public and not to provide protection
for only the elite.
He also
urged the new CP not to deal with his personnel with sentiments, stressing that
he would fail if he gives unnecessary concessions to the officers and men
working with him.
He stated
that the Force needed strong leadership to achieve results, adding that he had
put the command on a solid pedestal, noting that under him, the command
procured 5,000 special raincoats with the assistance of the FCT Minister,
Senator Bala Mohammed.
Mbu added
that he was able to save N10m from the ‘FCT logistics’ and bought two buses to
transport the rank and file to their duty posts.
Mbu, who
is now in charge of Zone 7, Abuja, explained that there was no petition against
him throughout his tenure as the CP in charge of FCT, because he dealt with the
people fairly.
Inalegwu
in his response, promised to build on the foundation laid by his predecessor
and challenged the officers to relate more with the community.
Meanwhile,
the FCT Police Command has arrested a suspect, Amos Yaro, who specialised in
using master key to steal cars.
He was
caught with 14 cars and paraded along with six others, including a panel beater
who helped him to change the colour of the cars, and three car dealers who
bought the stolen vehicles from him.

Mbu, should be ashame to talk in the public if this country is a country where three is the rule of law. He epitomizes a failed police officer that can not be accepted in any sane society. Shame on patience and Jonathan for the kind of job that they gave to this nuisance to execute in Rivers.
