“The Personnel of the base have encountered so many challenges regards to their welfare due to lack of administrative office. We were in the dark, we don’t know what is going on in the Nigeria Police today some of us are promoted to their next rank but they can not update their record due to lack of the Admin office. We are truncated from the force headquarters, no lectures regarding to what is happening within the force.”

“From the day we reported base 22 Toru-orua (i.e January to date) all deployment of personnel were done verbally via phone call

there is no any written posting till date and most of the beats where the personnel were posted to are unauthorized. There is no either IGP, DIG, AIG or CP approval the worst of it is that CTU operatives were illegally deployed to guard individual residents and streets Two operatives are posted on guard duty at the resident of one Pastor at Azikoro Road Yenagoa. And others were drafted for street security guards like vigilante group in Samphino and Tombia streets respectively.”

“Base 22 is located in Toru-Orua town of Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State a place of some the displaced

militants who are still in possession of their arms despite the amnesty program and they are using their arms to perpetuate heinous crime/attack in the area and its environs. Today the base is only left with only one Inspr. and two rank and files as base guards.”

“The Base has only a total number of three Toyota Hilux operational Vehicles. Two were allocated to the base by his Excellency the executive Governor of Bayelsa State. And one is issued from force Headquarters. Out of the two that were allocated by the State Government one is hijacked by the command CP. Then the two Hilux were personally contracted to Shell Company and deployed in different locations. And the base is left without even a bicycle as means of transportation”

.

“The commander CSP Daniel Okere Chukuma is the only person doing every job by himself because of his greed, corrupt and selfness. The failure to exercise a standard of care on reasonable

personnel’s who on the course of discharging their duty sustained injury and lost their phones. And expand several rounds of live

ammunition. The personnel arrested two armed robbers with two locally made pistols and three round of AK47 live ammunition on

the 8/7/2018 at about 1000 hrs at the base. And nothing was done to compliment the personnel for their gallantry

performance. Not even sending a situation report to the force headquarters informing them about the incident.”

“We hereby forward to inform you the above addresses that we can not continue to be under the leadership of such corrupt irresponsible, and incompetent leader. This is the only commander in the history of CTU

that collapse in a riot scene just because of teargas and lost his arm (Riot Gunner) and was issued query by the command CP as a result”.

“We are appealing the authority to remove this incompetent and corrupt leader and replace him with competent one please”.
