Police Strengthen Complaints Response Unit, Urge Nigerians To Report Misconduct

The Nigeria Police Force has reaffirmed its commitment to accountability, professionalism, and public trust through the continued strengthening of the Police Complaints Response Unit (CRU).

The Inspector-General of Police, 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 in Abuja.

According to information released on the Nigerian Police official Facebook page on Thursday, the Complaints Response Unit remains fully operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing members of the public with a direct channel to report cases of misconduct, abuse of office, extortion, human rights violations, and other unethical behaviour involving police personnel.

The IGP emphasized that accountability remains a central pillar of ongoing reforms within the Nigeria Police Force, noting that legitimate complaints from citizens will continue to receive prompt attention and necessary disciplinary action.

The Force reiterated its resolve to strengthen public confidence and institutional integrity through transparency, responsiveness, and strict adherence to the rule of law.
