The Nigeria Police Force has condemned the persistent unprofessional conduct of a few of its officers which undermines the standards and reputation of the force.
NPF Spokesman, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi in a statement, lamented that despite repeated warnings and disciplinary actions taken against those who have been exposed, some officers are still engaging in shameful acts that is eroding public trust.
Adejobi also condemned the fraudulent use of the name and office of the Inspector-General of Police 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.
He 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.
