The Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 13 Ukpo, AIG Umar Muri, has said that crime festers because of inability to serve justice to criminals.
Speaking during the occasion, Muri said his major reason for joining the force was to ensure justice for Nigerians, but regretted that even though justice delivery begins with the police, the slow nature of trials by the judiciary sector has made it impossible to serve justice to many criminals. “Every justice administration starts with the Nigeria Police Force, but unfortunately, in the judiciary, justice delivery is very slow. Once a judge is transferred, cases remain stunted and crime continues to fester. But if people are served justice, it could be a deterrent to others,” Muri said.
“I left the Nigeria Ports Authority where I was one of the legal advisers. I left as a level 10 officer to join the police as a level nine officer, so it was for me to be able to give justice. “When you serve higher officers in the police, always pick their good habits and drop the bad one. Serving in police is really a fantastic experience and that is the easiest way to serve justice.”
Very correct
