Also worthy of note was his quick response to criminal cases in any part of the state and this he had demonstrated by the record time his men visits crime scenes whenever his attention was drawn to such by anybody in the community no matter how high or low the position of such a person in the society.
“Then the area that concerns us mostly as human rights group in the state is the violation of citizens rights by the law enforcement agencies and we can attest to the fact that the Delta state police Commissioner, CP Ari Muhammed Ali, had scored a very high point on ensuring zero tolerance to cases of human rights abuses in the state since he assumed office at the Command”.
“We have had the course to intervene in some cases of human rights infringements by by some policemen at the various police units in the state but we are happy to see that once we draw the attention of CP Ali to such, the cases were given utmost attention and addressed as quickly as possible”.
“Again, we have seen so many policemen misbehaved in their duty post before now and go Scot freee with such misbehaviour but such attitude had changed over time since this CP came on board a d that’s because these officers are aware that the CP Ali does not take nonsense and once such reports gets to him, he takes action immediately”.
“We are not trying to paint a picture of a saint here but we have worked with many Police Commissioner in the state including the present Inspector General of Police, IGP Alkali Baba Usman, and we are proud to say that the present CP has done well by emulating the present IGP who himself displayed a favorable disposition to human rights cases and crime fighting while at the helms of affairs at Delta Command”.
