The Inspector -General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase,
has said that the removal of roadblocks from the nation’s highways and
application of other administrative policies had reduced corruption in
the Force.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by the Force spokesperson, acting Assistant Commissioner of Police Olabisi Kolawole.
The statement said Arase made the disclosure when the Presidential Advisory Committee on Corruption led by its chairman, Prof. Itsey Sagay, paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.
It said that Arase further gave his total support for a warm relationship with the committee to succeed in its task.
Sagay,
according to the statement, had earlier said the committee was
confident in the ability of the Inspector General to take the police to
greater heights.
He said his committee would
assist the police and other agencies saddled with the responsibility of
fighting corruption to succeed.
Sagay stated that
the committee was mandated to promote the effectiveness of the
administration of criminal justice in the country.
He
also said the committee had the responsibility to improve the integrity
of officers and men engaged in the fight against corruption in the
country.
