“No corrupt officer has any business being in the Corps as the federal government has done everything within its power to make us comfortable.

“I will plead for the cooperation of members of the public to give information on corrupt officers and be ready to establish their allegations when they are called upon to testify against the erring officials,” he said.

He added that he had directed his men to impound vehicles found violating road laws during festive periods to prevent accidents, calling for harmonisation of traffic laws in the government at all levels, to institute an effective legal framework to avert abuses on the road.
