“The inspection covered major highways, including the Owerri–Onitsha, Owerri–Port Harcourt, and Owerri–Umuahia roads.

“It followed numerous public complaints about police misconduct at checkpoints.

“In a renewed effort to entrench professionalism, discipline, and public confidence, the CP inspected multiple checkpoints and engaged officers directly,” the statement said.

During the tour, Danjuma reminded officers of the core principles of modern policing: discipline, integrity, and respect for human rights.

He warned that any officer caught engaging in extortion or intimidation would face severe disciplinary action, including dismissal and possible prosecution.

The seven arrested officers have already been subjected to internal disciplinary procedures, with further updates to be shared soon.

In addition to the enforcement action, CP Danjuma also held open conversations with motorists and commuters, urging them not to offer bribes or surrender their phones for unauthorized searches.

To encourage public accountability, he personally distributed emergency contact numbers for the Command’s X-Squad and Complaint Response Unit (CRU).

Danjuma assured citizens that all reports would be handled professionally and confidentially.

The CP reiterated the command’s commitment to building a police force grounded in justice, integrity, and public service, vowing to cleanse the system of corrupt elements and restore dignity to law enforcement in the state.
