Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Command, MammanGiwa, has admonished officers of the Command to always regard themselves as public servants, duty-bound to serve citizens with professionalism and diligence, and never as masters over the people.
He gave this warning during his monthly strategic conference with senior officers held at the Senior Police Officers’ Mess, Agbani Road, Enugu.
Tnis was made known by the police public relations officer of the command,SP Daniel Ndukwe in a statement made available to Newsmen on Tuesday in Enugu
