IGP  Pledges to Enhance Police Complaint Response Mechanisms

In a statement signed by ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer at the Nigeria Police Force headquarters in Abuja, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ag. IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has announced the Nigeria Police Force‘s commitment to bolstering ties with the Public Complaints Commission (PCC).

This collaborative effort aims to enhance accountability, transparency, and public trust within the police force.

The statement, released through the official verified Twitter account of the Nigeria Police Force, @PoliceNG, highlights the IGP‘s determination to reform the complaints response mechanisms of the force.

The announcement follows a recent visit by the Honourable Chief Commissioner of the Public Complaints Commission, Hon. Abimbola Ayo-Yusuf, and her team to the Force Headquarters. During this meeting, the IGP and the delegation engaged in extensive discussions concerning mutual interests and potential areas of collaboration.

As part of the ongoing efforts to strengthen accountability within the police system, the IGP has undertaken a series of initiatives. These include reinforcing the Monitoring Unit, X-Squad, and the Complaint Response Unit (CRU). Furthermore, the establishment of a Complaint Response Unit in all states has been approved, with the objective of curbing misconducts, excesses, and unprofessionalism among police officers nationwide.

To lead this important unit, the IGP has appointed CSP El-Mustapha Sani as the new head of the Complaint Response Unit. CSP Sani brings a wealth of experience and a distinguished service record to this role. His background in complaint resolution within the Public Complaint Bureau of the Force Public Relations Department, coupled with his dedication to justice and fairness, make him a fitting choice for this responsibility.

Emphasizing the significance of the partnership between the police and the public, the IGP encourages all stakeholders, including civil society organizations and other law enforcement agencies, to collaborate closely with Police Complaint Response Units. This collaborative approach aims to curb misconduct, uphold professionalism, and maintain a strong connection between law enforcement and the community.
