House of Representatives is urging
the Inspector-General of Police to ensure that officers and men of the force
dress in uniform whenever they are on highway patrol duty.
The call was sequel to a unanimous
adoption of a motion by Hon. Ajisafe Olowookere, who said that being properly
dressed was necessary to prevent identity crisis and also portray the force as
a disciplined organisation.
In his contribution, Hon. Nkem Abonta
said that policemen were sometimes victims of attacks and kidnapping, hence the
need to dress in mufti.
He added that sometimes men of the
force would need to undertake undercover operations which required them to wear
mufti.
