NPF Releases Numbers For Public To Report Misconduct Of Police Officers

The Nigerian Police Force has urged the public to report any misconduct by police officers to their superiors, the Heads of the Complaint Response Units (CRU) in their respective states, or the Commissioner of Police in the state.

A statement titled “PUBLIC NOTICE: MISUSE OF NAME, OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF POLICE,” signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, on Saturday, cautioned the public to be wary of officers or individuals claiming to have connections with the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, or any other senior police officers, as this could be an attempt at exploitation.

“The Nigeria Police Force is concerned about the persistent unprofessional conduct of a few Police officers which undermines the standards and reputation of the Nigeria Police Force.

“Despite repeated warnings and disciplinary actions taken against those who have been exposed, some officers are still engaging in these shameful acts that erode public trust.

“Even more alarming is the fraudulent use of the name and office of the Inspector-General of Police to perpetrate these illegal acts.

“The intention behind this tactic is to intimidate victims into believing that the IGP is aware, and approves of their illegal activities. As a result, victims are often deterred from reporting these incidents to higher authorities.

“We urge members of the public to report any misconduct by Police Officers to their superiors, the Heads of the Complaint Response Units (CRU) in their states or the Commissioner of Police in the state. Contact information for the CRU in all states has been published previously.

“Members of the public are therefore advised to exercise caution when approached by officers or individuals claiming connections with the IGP or any senior officer for the purpose of influence or favour,” the statement said in part.

Adejobi then provided phone contacts where the public could lodge formal complaints against erring police officers.

“In such instances, we urge you to immediately report such cases to the Nigeria Police Force via: DCP Akin Fakorede, Head, IGP Monitoring Unit, Force Headquarters, Abuja – 08184077076; ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja – 08037168147; CSP Taiwo Oyewale, Head, IGP Special Investigation Unit, Force Headquarters, Abuja – 08069318238; SP Sherriff Lawal, ADC (Aide-de-Camp) to the IGP – 08094712605.”

The Nigeria Police Force reaffirmed its dedication to maintaining the highest levels of integrity and professionalism.

It urged the public to collaborate with the NPF by reporting any suspicious activities, helping to ensure that justice and fairness are upheld at all times.
