The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) has issued a directive enforcing strict disciplinary measures for any officers found guilty of extorting citizens. This move aims to tackle corruption within the force and restore public trust in law enforcement.

The IGP emphasized that any officer caught exploiting or unlawfully demanding money from the public would face severe consequences, including suspension, termination, or legal prosecution. This decision comes amid growing complaints and reports from citizens who have experienced extortion by police officers.

Police officials have assured the public of a transparent process, promising that any complaints of corruption will be swiftly investigated. They encourage citizens to report any encounters with corrupt officers and have set up dedicated channels for this purpose.

The directive has been met with approval from civil society organizations and advocates for police reform, who see it as a necessary step toward accountability. By addressing internal corruption, the police force hopes to enhance its image and reassure Nigerians that officers are there to serve and protect, not exploit.

Public awareness campaigns are expected to follow, informing citizens about their rights and encouraging them to come forward with any reports of misconduct.
