The Nigeria Police Force has raised an alarm over the persistent misuse of the Inspector-General of Police’s name and office by unscrupulous individuals and police officers.

This fraudulent tactic is used to intimidate victims into believing that the IGP is aware of and approves their illegal activities, deterring them from reporting such incidents.

According to the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Police Force is concerned about the unprofessional conduct of some officers, which undermines the standards and reputation of the Force.

Despite repeated warnings and disciplinary actions, some officers continue to engage in these shameful acts, eroding public trust.

The Police Force has urged 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. The contact information for the CRU in all states has been published previously.
