On the low morale of Police officers occasioned by endsars and attack on police stations, Okon said that he will soon meet with the officers to boost their morale and confidence in line with the mandate of the new Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Baba.
“Abia, Imo and Ebonyi States are not new to me. It is not going to be strange for me to work here.
“Destruction of property is anti-societal development. This is why we must protect lives and properties of government and that of the general public.
“I am here on a supervisorial role, but I can assure you that despite coming to the zone at a very challenging time, I will make sure that I do my job to the best of my abilities.
“I have been the commissioner of Police in this state and the records are there. I will make sure that I replicate the fest I achieved here as a CP now that I am the AIG.
“What I ask from Abians and the citizens of the entire zone is for them to cooperate with me by providing credible information because we need to operate in a peaceful environment.
“My utmost desire is to make zone 9 a safe haven for human habitation, infrastructural development and a place that is safe for economic development.”
