CP Enekpen-Otimeyin, who is the 49th Commissioner of Police in the State, said the directive against extortion and searching of phones was from the Inspector General of Police, said such can only be done if it is necessary in the course of an investigation.

The CP, who began her career in Bauchi State in 1992 and has served in various capacities at various Commands across the country, said she would also check against gender-based violence (GBV) against women and children.

According to her, “I started my career in Bauchi state, from there to Plateau where I worked in various divisions as DPO before I was moved to Edo State where I also worked in about 10 divisions as DPO; Oba Market, Textile Mill Road, Okhoro and a host of others.

“I also worked in the State Command as OC Conflict Resolution and I have special interest in cases that have to do with gender-based violence that have to do with children.
