ACP Francis Ndabula, Area Commander in-charge of the Opolo Area, Bayelsa Command of the Nigeria Police on Tuesday enlisted the support of members of the public in combating crime.
Ndabula made the appeal during a meeting with members of the
Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) under his jurisdiction.
He also urged residents and corporate bodies to partner with the
police as well as PCRC, by providing useful information that will lead to the
arrest of criminals in the area.
Ndabula also charged them to make the necessary sacrifices in
order to achieve the aims and objectives of the committee.
“I am excited that the Police Community Relations Committee has
been formally established in my command and this will further boost security in
the area,” Ndabula said.
He emphasized that membership was voluntary noting, “it is an
assignment that does not attract any form of remuneration and members are
expected to carry out their operations discreetly and with dignity.”
In his remarks, the Coordinator of the PCRC in the Area Command,
Opolo, Mr Chris Nwodoh, said “the PCRC is a collaborative effort between the
Police and civilians to secure the safety of our environment.
“It was established 36 years ago to enable civilians render
service voluntarily to assist the Police to fight crime and maintain peace in
the society.”
The high-point of the meeting was the election of the pioneer
executive of the Committee to pilot its affairs.
The 12-member Committee is headed by Dr. James Neminebo as
Chairman, Chief Polycarp Udeafor, Vice Chairman; Mr Igbuasi Jerome, Secretary;
Mr Faithful Dengiyefa, Financial Secretary and Mr. Akins Mathias, Treasurer.
Others include Mr Ebi Evinson, Publicity Secretary, Mrs Amada Ebisinde,
Assistant Secretary; Mr Eketiomo Benson, Public Relations Officer; Mrs Esther
Wonimieye, Welfare Secretary 1; Mrs Ogiechi Ezenwanze, Welfare Secretary 2 and
Mr Vincent Ezeh and Mrs Blessing Ezekiel as Provost Secretaries 1&2,
respectively.
In his acceptance speech , Dr. James Neminebo thanked members
for the confidence reposed in him and promised that he will serve diligently
and requested his colleagues to put in their best.
He also pleaded with members of the Committee to support the
executive totally, given the fact that the Committee was a new-born baby.
The Chairman further promised that one of his priorities would
be to build a Club House within the premises of the Command to promote better
interaction and camaraderie among members and officers of the Command.
