The Inspector General of Police, Ag. IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, has expresses strong displeasure at the misconducts of a few recalcitrant officers along our major highways in Nigeria, which have repeatedly tarnished the Force’s reputation.

The alleged incidences of extortion, intimidation, and harassment of commuters on the highways are being looked into, and the Force is resolute in addressing these issues promptly and decisively.

In response to the reports and series of complaints received on Police platforms, the IGP has directed all supervising officers to undertake stringent supervision of their subordinates in the field with the primary objective of curbing and eradicating the unprofessional conduct of erring officers.

Egbetokun in a statement by the force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi  noted that it is imperative that supervising officers take proactive measures to prevent any form of misconduct, and where such misconduct is observed, they are expected to take immediate action to rectify the situation.

The IGP has also directed the Monitoring Unit and other Disciplinary Units to intensify their efforts in identifying and apprehending officers engaged in acts of misconduct. Personnel found guilty of such offenses will face severe disciplinary measures, aimed at deterring future occurrences. Moreover, supervisory officers who fail to fulfill their duty of oversight will also face appropriate sanctions.

The Nigeria Police Force, under the present leadership, is committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and public service. The IGP urges members of the public to report any instance of misconduct, and reassures the citizens that strict measures will be taken to ensure that the actions of a few do not undermine the reputation of the entire Force.
