IGP Orders Probe into Minors’ Detention Conditions, Calls for Child-Friendly Police Reforms

Following the recent detainment and arraignment of several young individuals on November 1, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), who is currently abroad on official assignments, has directed an investigation into the conditions and welfare of these youths while held in police custody.
The IGP, who was attending the African Union Mechanism for Police Cooperation (AFRIPOL) committee meeting in Algiers, Algeria, reportedly issued instructions to examine how these young detainees were treated and whether proper care was provided during their time in detention.
Today, from Glasgow, Scotland, where he is currently attending the Interpol General Assembly, the IGP received an investigative report on the matter.
He promised to carefully review the findings and ensure that any issues or procedural gaps uncovered in the treatment of these minors are thoroughly addressed.
The IGP emphasized the importance of accountability, indicating that any lapses in procedure or oversight would be corrected as part of the force’s commitment to upholding justice and ensuring the humane treatment of all detainees, particularly minors.
To underscore his commitment to a professional and child-sensitive approach in police investigations, the IGP has summoned Deputy Commissioners of Criminal Investigation Departments (DCs CID) and Heads of Investigation Units nationwide for a conference and workshop.
This meeting, set to take place on November 7, 2024, at the Police Resource Center in Jabi, Abuja, aims to strengthen investigative procedures, focusing on approaches that are sensitive to the needs and rights of young and vulnerable individuals.
The planned workshop will also cover international best practices in detainee care, with child welfare as a central concern.
