The Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) for Central & NCD Benjamin Turi says he has zero tolerance for Gender-Based-Violence (GBV) and Polygamy in his command. He said these issues have become common among police officers in living police barracks and he will not tolerate such behavior. “If you are practicing polygamy, you will lose your house,” warned ACP Turi. He said they as police cannot arrest and prosecute the public for these crimes while their own family suffer in silence. ACP Turi made these remarks during the opening of the new Family and Sexual Violence Unit (FSVU) office at the 7 Mile Police Station at Jacksons International Airport today. He said some wives of police officers are experiencing GBV and going through polygamous marriages in silence hence, he gave his full support to FSV Unit to persecute any officer involved in these crimes. “Any report from the barracks, do not take it lightly. I will back you up as the commander to make sure every policeman involved in family and sexual violence or polygamy in the barracks, you deal with them firmly. If it means arresting them, you have my blessing,” said ACP Turi. He said he will make this announcement to officers under his command during his parade this Friday.
