The newly appointed Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, Ahmed Sanusi, has assured that the command under his leadership will be professional, relentless and focused on preventing crime before it occurs.

Sanusi gave the assurance during his maiden press briefing after assuming duty as the Commissioner of Police for the FCT.
The CP, while assuring that the command would leave no stone unturned in ensuring that criminal elements are identified, pursued and brought to justice, said, “As many who are familiar with my professional approach will attest, crime does not thrive where I serve. During my tenure, crime will have no place in the FCT,”.
He said, “Under my leadership, the Command will be proactive, intelligence driven, professional and relentless in its operations. We shall leave no stone unturned in ensuring that criminal elements are identified, pursued, and flushed out of the FCT.

The commissioner, who warned criminals to leave the territory or have themselves to blame, said:
“To those who have chosen the path of criminality, be advised that the Federal Capital Territory is no longer a safe haven for you. You are strongly warned to desist from all forms of unlawful activities, pack up, and exit the FCT, or be prepared to face the full weight and relentless arm of the law,” he added.
He also cautioned officers and men of the command against indiscipline and unprofessional conduct, stressing that personnel must maintain civility and uphold the highest standards while interacting with members of the public.
He also called on residents to support the police with timely information, noting that security remains a collective responsibility.
“Security is a collective responsibility, and the Command cannot do it alone. I operate an open door policy and encourage members of the public to engage with us, share information, and partner with us in safeguarding our communities,” Sanusi said.
He expressed appreciation to the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Disu, for the appointment, pledging to build on the achievements of his predecessor while strengthening the security architecture of the Federal Capital Territory.
