Ogun State Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni has said persons with disabilities are full Nigerian citizens and should never be treated as second class.
He spoke on Tuesday when leaders of the Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD), Ogun State chapter, visited the command headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta.
The delegation was led by state chairman Awobona Ayodele.
He said people with disabilities face particular challenges and asked the police to partner with the association on disability management and sensitisation.
He also asked for training so officers know how to identify and deal properly with people with disabilities, and pledged the association's cooperation.
Ojajuni said disability does not take away anyone's constitutional rights.
He promised regular sensitisation and retraining for officers to improve how they treat people with disabilities, and said the police will keep protecting their rights and safety across Ogun State.
