Governor wike who on Friday received Eboka Friday at the Government House, Port Harcourt, also wants the new police chief to be guided by his conscience in whatever he does, stressing that his administration will on its part provide the support needed to keep the state safe from crime.
He takes over from Joseph Mukan who was recently promoted to the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police and redeployed to Zone 8 Headquarters Lokoja as the Zonal Commander.

To show that he means business, the new Police Commissioner announced the immediate disbandment of the Eagle Crack Squad in the command following reports of abuses and complaints from residents.
Welcoming the Delta State-born police officer to town, Governor Wike who had a couple of days ago expressed misgiving over his deployment, wants Friday to be guided by his conscience and refrain from involving himself in the politics of the state.
In return, Governor Wike said that his administration will give the Police all the support they need to make the state safe.
While applauding the revival of the C4I unit, Governor Wike also wants the new Rivers State Police Commissioner to rid his Command of bad eggs.
