Police Warn Officers Against Misconduct, Citing #EndSARS Aftermath
The Nigeria Police Force has issued a strong directive warning officers to cease arbitrary arrests, phone seizures, and unnecessary detentions at checkpoints, with severe penalties awaiting violators.
The memo, signed by the Department of Operations at the Force Headquarters, referenced the 2020 #EndSARS protests as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of police misconduct, which led to loss of lives, destruction, and a deep erosion of public trust.
The directive stressed that command commissioners and supervisors would be held accountable for any violations, with monitoring units deployed to ensure compliance.
This move comes days after UK Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch accused the Nigerian police of corruption, claiming officers stole her brother’s shoe and wristwatch, further sparking discussions on police abuse in the country.
