Benneth Igweh on Friday assumed office as the 31st Federal Capital Territory Commissioner of Police.
Following his assumption, he pledged to tackle kidnapping, chance robbery, banditry, and other crimes in FCT.
The CP, who took over from AIG Haruna Garba following the latter’s promotion to the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police, is an operational police officer whose experience is believed to come in handy in the fight against criminality in FCT.
CP Igweh was born on October 7, 1968. He hails from Akatta Oru-East LGA, Imo State, Nigeria. He attended the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu State, where he bagged a Bachelor of Science Degree in Estate Management.
While addressing senior officers of the Command in the maiden meeting of his administration, the CP tasked officers to be dutiful and to wake up to their responsibilities, as his administration would have zero tolerance for laxity.
He equally urged the good people of the Territory to continue working with the Police in areas of intelligence gathering and other areas that might help strengthen the peace vis-a-vis the security framework in the Territory.
