The Nigeria Police Force has reiterated its commitment to accountability, professionalism, and public trust through the continued strengthening of the Police Complaints Response Unit (CRU) as a direct and accessible channel for citizens to report police misconduct and unprofessional conduct.
A statement issued by Force Public Relations Officer, Anthony Placid, on Thursday, said the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, made this known during an emergency conference with Commissioners of Police and members of the press held at the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Peacekeeping Centre, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
According to the IGP, the Complaints Response Unit remains fully operational 24 hours daily, providing members of the public with a direct platform to report cases of misconduct, abuse of office, extortion, human rights violations, and other unethical behaviour involving police personnel.
Disu stressed that accountability remains a core pillar of ongoing reforms within the Nigeria Police Force, noting that legitimate complaints from citizens would continue to receive prompt attention and necessary action.
He urged Nigerians to make responsible use of the available complaint channels, emphasizing that public cooperation is vital to building a more professional, transparent, and people-centred police institution.
The Force assured citizens that all reports received through the CRU would be treated with seriousness and confidentiality, while disciplinary measures would continue to be taken against personnel found culpable after investigations.
The Nigeria Police Force also reiterated its determination to strengthen public confidence and institutional integrity through transparency, responsiveness, and respect for the rule of law.
