Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Police Force has called on 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.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement titled \u2018PUBLIC NOTICE: MISUSE OF NAME, OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF POLICE,\u2019 issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The statement warned the public to exercise caution when approached by officers or individuals claiming connections with the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, or any senior police officer for the purpose of exploitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven more alarming is the fraudulent use of the name and office of the Inspector-General of Police to perpetrate these illegal acts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe intention behind this tactic is to intimidate victims into believing that the IGP is aware of, and approves of, their illegal activities. As a result, victims are often deterred from reporting these incidents to higher authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers 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 favor,\u201d the statement said in part.<\/p>\n

The Force Spokesman then provided phone contacts where the public could lodge formal complaints against erring police officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 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 \u2013 08184077076; ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja \u2013 08037168147; CSP Taiwo Oyewale, Head, IGP Special Investigation Unit, Force Headquarters, Abuja \u2013 08069318238; SP Sherriff Lawal, ADC (Aide-de-Camp) to the IGP \u2013 08094712605.\u201d<\/p>\n

The force assured all Nigerians of its commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.<\/p>\n

It called for synergy between the NPF and the public by reporting any suspicious activities to ensure that justice and fairness prevail at all times.<\/p>\n
