IGP Disu’s Leadership Driving Improved Security Across Nigeria – FPRO
ABUJA – The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has said the security situation across the country has improved significantly, attributing the progress to the leadership of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, PSC (+), NPM.
Speaking with journalists on Wednesday at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Anietie Iniedu, said the improvement is the result of the Inspector-General’s commitment to motivating personnel, inspiring officers, and providing adequate operational resources for policing across the country.
According to him, one of the major initiatives introduced by the IGP is the establishment of the Violent Crime Response Unit (VCRU), which has strengthened the fight against violent crimes and criminal syndicates nationwide.
Addressing the issue of tinted glass permits, Iniedu clarified that the permits remain valid and legally recognised in Nigeria.
He said motorists with valid tinted glass permits should not experience any difficulties at police checkpoints, commands, stations, or other police formations across the country.
The Police also warned that no officer is authorised to extort motorists or any other road users over tinted glass permits, urging vehicle owners to obtain their permits only through designated police offices in commands nationwide.
Reaffirming the Force’s zero-tolerance policy on corruption and misconduct, the spokesperson stressed that any officer found extorting members of the public over tinted permits or engaging in any form of misconduct would face appropriate disciplinary action.
He encouraged members of the public to report cases of police misconduct through the Police Complaints Response Unit (CRU) via the following channels: 08057000001, 08057000002, WhatsApp and SMS only-08057000003.
Iniedu further disclosed that the CRU received 3,922 complaints from members of the public within the last three months, adding that 38 police officers were indicted and are currently undergoing disciplinary procedures.
