The appeal became necessary in view of the misconduct of some policemen after  consumption of all kinds free alcoholic beverages given to them by friends, party makers or by those who come to police station for one reason or the other.

He stated that should there be any need to offer   them drink's, it must be mineral water or non alcoholic beverages.

In a similar  vein, the commissioner of police warns all Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers to locate and shut down all shops within their barracks, Area Command and Divisional premises where alcoholic beverages are sold or consumed in line with Nigeria Police Rules and  Regulations.
