Inspector General of Police, Nigeria Police Force, Kayode Egbetokun has warned police
00:06
personnel against the use of high-handedness on Nigerian citizens and put a stop to the
00:11
extortion of the people forthwith, adding, severe punishments await police officers
00:16
using his name to extort money from members of the public.
00:20
The IJP gave the order recently while addressing some top senior police officers in Abuja,
00:27
according to the force public relations officer, Olumuwa Adejebi who stated this in a news release
00:33
on Friday. The statement indicated that the IJP frowned at the rate of cases of extortion of
00:39
members of the public by some police operatives. IJP in the statement reassured Nigerians of his
00:46
leadership's zero tolerance for corrupt practices amongst officers and men of the police force.
00:52
The statement reads in quote, The Inspector General of Police, IJP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun
00:59
has expressed concerns and condemnation on the alleged cases of extortion and high-handedness
01:05
perpetrated by certain recalcitrant members of the Nigeria Police Force. The IJP made this
01:11
known while addressing Assistant Inspectors General of Police, Commissioners of Police,
01:17
and Heads of various formations at the In Peace Conference with senior police officers held at
01:22
the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan International Peacekeeping Hall, Force Headquarters, Abuja
01:27
recently. The IJP, during his speech, charged the senior officers on proper supervision of the
01:35
activities of officers at their various levels and ensure the highest standard of professional
01:40
conduct is maintained and upheld in the course of carrying out their lawful duties. The IJP also
01:47
ordered the IJP-X Squad, Monitoring Unit, Complaint Response Unit, CRU, and other disciplinary units
01:55
to carry out routine checks on the activities of officers across the country as part of efforts to
02:01
calm misconduct and corruption tendencies amongst officers and ensure strict punishment is meted on
02:07
erring officers and that supervisory officers found wanting in this regard will not be spared
02:13
of vicarious liability. Similarly, the IJP issued a stern warning to officers regarding
02:20
the unethical practice of name-dropping the IJP and other senior officers to extort money from
02:25
unsuspecting members of the public. The IJP emphasized that any officer found guilty of
02:32
leveraging his name for fraudulent activities or extortion will face severe disciplinary measures,
02:38
reaffirming that the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force maintains a zero-tolerance policy
02:43
towards corruption, unprofessional behavior, and misconduct. Finally, IJP Egbetokun implored the
02:51
public to exercise caution and report any attempts to exploit his name for fraudulent activities or
02:57
extortion in investigation of cases, highlighting the crucial role citizens play in collaborative
03:03
policing of the society and its police.
