Members of the public have been advised and cautioned against offering money or any form of inducements to police officers while discharging their official duties.
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command gave the advice following incessant reports of alleged extortion of money by the police on official duties, saying that such acts remain unlawful and undermine the integrity of policing in the Nation’s capital.
“It is unlawful to give our officers money or any form of inducement while they are performing their duty. Let them discharge their responsibilities diligently, without interference,” the statement read.
Reassuring residents of its commitment to professional service delivery, the Command maintained that the Nigeria Police Force is dedicated to serving with integrity and transparency, urging citizens to cooperate in building a safer society.
The FCT Police Command further encouraged members of the public to promptly report any unprofessional conduct by officers through its Complaint Response Unit (CRU) on 08107314192 or the emergency line 08032003913.
