PUBLIC NOTICE: MISUSE OF THE NAME AND OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF POLICE

PUBLIC NOTICE

MISUSE OF THE NAME AND OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF POLICE

 

The Nigeria Police Force has observed with concern the persistent unprofessional conduct of a minority of officers, which tarnishes the reputation and high standards of the Force. Despite numerous warnings and disciplinary measures, some officers continue to engage in disgraceful practices that erode public trust.

 

 

Even more disturbing is the fraudulent use of the name and office of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to carry out illegal activities. These perpetrators aim to intimidate their victims by falsely implying the IGP’s approval of their actions, discouraging the victims from reporting such incidents to higher authorities.

The Nigeria Police Force urges members of the public to remain vigilant and report any misconduct by police officers to their superiors, the Complaint Response Unit (CRU) in their respective states, or the Commissioner of Police. Contact details for the CRU in all states have been previously published.

We also advise caution when dealing with anyone claiming connections with the IGP or other senior officers for undue influence or personal gain. In such cases, please report immediately through the following contacts:

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 to the IGP): 08094712605
The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and professionalism. We count on the public’s cooperation to report any suspicious or unethical behavior, ensuring that justice and fairness are maintained at all times.
