ABUJA — The Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), CP Ahmed Mohammed Sanusi, has warned police personnel against misconduct, abuse of authority, harassment, and extortion of residents, stressing that such acts will not be tolerated.
Sanusi issued the warning on Monday during the official launch of the Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU) at the former SARS office in Guzape Junction, Abuja.
He said the establishment of the unit reflects efforts to strengthen the fight against armed robbery, kidnapping, violent attacks, and other serious crimes within the FCT.
According to him, the VCRU has been structured into five operational sectors across the territory to improve coverage, intelligence gathering, and rapid response to security threats.
The CP noted that officers deployed to the unit were carefully screened and trained, adding that professionalism, discipline, accountability, and respect for human rights must guide their operations.
He also urged residents to support security agencies by providing timely information, saying effective policing requires collaboration between the public and law enforcement.
The event was attended by senior security officials, including representatives of the Nigerian Army, Air Force, Navy, Immigration Service, NDLEA, FRSC, traditional rulers, and community stakeholders.
The FCT Police Command also encouraged residents to report suspicious activities through designated emergency lines.
