CP Sanusi made it clear that such behavior will not be tolerated under his leadership, stressing the need for discipline, professionalism, and respect for citizens. He emphasized that policing must be about protection and service, not intimidation or harassment.
His strong remarks have triggered mixed reactions across the country, with many Nigerians praising his honesty while others demand urgent reforms to address long-standing issues at police checkpoints nationwide.
