Police Reiterate Warning Against Name-Dropping, Impersonation & Other Unlawful Activities 

These individuals have been exploiting the names of high-ranking Police officers, including that of the Inspector-General of Police, to intimidate and coerce others.

The NPF has strongly encouraged all Nigerians to be vigilant and exercise discernment when approached by anyone using the names of senior Police officers, as this practice not only undermines trust in the Nigeria Police Force but also poses a significant threat to the integrity of our justice system.

Furthermore, the Force equally emphasized its unwavering commitment to the high standards and principles upon which the Nigeria Police Force is built.

“We firmly caution members of our own ranks who may consider colluding with these middlemen to compromise the standards of the Force to refrain from such actions immediately. It is essential to highlight that any officer found engaging in such activities will face severe consequences. The Nigeria Police Force maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any actions that could tarnish our reputation or compromise the administration of justice.”

“Finally, we reaffirm our commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity and professionalism within the Nigeria Police Force. We urge all Nigerians to have faith in our justice system and to report any suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities, most especially using our already published contacts. Your cooperation and vigilance are essential in helping us maintain the integrity of our force and the justice system.” ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer.
