OpenLife Nigeria reports that as debates , analyses and opinions dominate the public space on the misdeeds of embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP, Abba Kyari, the commander of the Intelligence Response Team, IRT, former Inspector-General of police (2007 to 2009) Dr Mike Mbama Okiro has submitted reasons there is so much decadents in the Police force which extended to the unethical disposition of Abba Kyari.
Speaking in an interview earlier published in Vanguard Newspaper, Okiro maintained that the unfolding drama concerning Abba Kyari is not a systemic failure as some analysts would want to present.
He stated that it is an individual failure saying “I won’t call it a systemic failure, it is an individual failure, and it was what he chose to do himself. For an officer to commit the offence, they don’t do it in the open, they hide it from the probing eyes of the law enforcement agency, and it is not until they are caught or arrested before they know their character traits. So, it is not a systemic thing, it is an individual failure.”
Okiro stressed further that he knows Abba Kyari very well describing him as an officer who was doing “very well which earned him double promotion.”
He however added that he nominated him for the special promotion as the Chairman of Police Service Commission but feels “Highly disappointed,” at his current travails.
Speaking further, the former Inspector General advanced reasons the likes of Abba Kyari have become black sheep to the Police family.
The police should put a tab on officers and monitor the kind of life they live. In those days when my father was a public servant, he said there was a General Order, that you cannot be seen living above your means of livelihood, you cannot drive a car to the office if you are not on a car loan, and it was so in my time, too.
Mike Okiro who was reputed for excellent police sevice to his father land emphasized that “These days, you see police officers driving expensive cars when they are not on a car loan, and it is the service authority that encourages all these because they don’t give car loans anymore. Officers are just allowed to source them on their own and when you see them driving those cars, you cannot ask them who gave them the money to purchase them because they are not given car loans. So, it is in a way that if you are not on a car loan, you must explain how you got the money to buy a car.”
