A statement on Thursday by the Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Abayomi Shogunle, said the exercise was in line with the determination of Arase to inject fresh ideas into the security architecture in Lagos, Rivers and Ogun States and some other Force Headquarters Formations
The police source said the action of Arase could be compared with what the immediate past Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), took on Oshodi area of the state

Our investigation has revealed that the crux of the alleged acrimony in the Force was attributed to an alleged move by a cabal said to be working in tandem with the Police Promotion Department and the Force Secretary to tamper with the staff list, which is the booklet that shows Seniority and Position of Officers and Men

Arase, who enlisted into the Nigeria Police Force on December 1, 1981, after graduating from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, in 1980, with a degree in Political Science, was already dusting and packing his belongings from office, in preparation to retire on June 21, 2016, when he was suddenly appointed as the IGP
IGP, in his response reiterated his desire to ensure the protection of rights of persons in the enforcement of law and order in the country, stating the setting up of monitoring teams to monitor Police conduct on highways and Police formations nationwide
Arase, who was appointed in acting capacity upon the retirement of Suleiman Abba, was confirmed on Tuesday
He said: “Sixteen teams have been deployed to the whole geopolitical zones to make sure the ban on road blocks is enforced
After a complaint on the issue, a call was put through to Arase by the programme producers to intimate him about the plight of the police officer whose salaries have not been paid since June 2013.
