Assistant Inspector-General (AIG) in charge of Zone 11, Olasupo Ajani, has pleaded with Nigerians to stop the attack being meted out on policemen in the country.
While speaking during a stakeholders' meeting and familiarisation visit to the Oyo State Police Command at its Headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan, on Tuesday, April 27, AIG Ajani said Nigerians no longer respect the police as it was before the EndSARS protest.
According to him, the police and the citizens have been along together before the EndSARS saga, adding that the protest gave room for disrespect between both parties.
He enjoined stakeholders to sensitize the people they represent and pleaded for the initial cordial relationship between the police and citizens to be restored.
“EndSARS has created a sort of vacuum and we want to reclaim the space again and be closer to the people. Any police that wants to be successful must have the support of the people.
“We must cooperate and work together for peace to reign in this country."
He also warned members of the Police Community Relations Commitee (PCRC) who connive with some police officers to extort money from the people, to put an end to the act.
