Policemen in Ondo State have disassociated themselves from the rumours that police officers are planning to embark on strike over poor welfare package.

The officers, who spoke at a briefing by the Commissioner of Police, Isaac Eke, also passed a vote of confidence on the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba and Eke.

A statement by the spokesman, Wole Ogodo, on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, said the IGP's determination to prioritise police officers' welfare was sacrosanct.

The statement reads: 'Reacting to the rumoured strike, the officers and men ranging from constable, corporal, sergeant and inspector ranks, declared that they were not part of the purported action.

'They pledged their support for IG Abba and Commissioner Eke, thereby committing to maintaining peace in the state.'
