Police warn officers against misuse of IGP’s name

THE GUARDIAN

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has condemned the persistent unprofessional conduct of a few of its officers which undermines the standards and reputation of the force.

In a statement, Force Spokesman, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, lamented that despite repeated warnings and disciplinary actions taken against those who have been exposed, some officers are still engaging in shameful acts that erode public trust.

Adejobi also condemned the fraudulent use of the name and office of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to perpetrate the illegal acts.

He said the intention behind the tactic is to intimidate victims into believing that the IGP is aware, and approves of their illegal activities, thereby preventing the victims from reporting the incidents to higher authorities.
