In an effort to maintain the highest standards of integrity within the Nigeria Police Force, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has sternly condemned any form of extortion and issued a clear warning to all officers against using or dropping his name for such nefarious activities.
In a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) at the Force Headquarters Abuja, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the IGP expressed deep concern, emphasizing that such actions tarnished the reputation of his person and the Police Force, thereby eroding public trust.
The IGP emphasized that any officer found guilty of leveraging his name for fraudulent activities or extortion would face severe disciplinary measures.
He therefore urged officers to uphold transparency and professionalism, reiterating that the integrity of the Nigeria Police Force was at stake if such was not checked.
Furthermore, IGP Kayode Egbetokun implored the public to exercise caution and report any attempts to exploit his name for fraudulent activities or extortion, most especially in the investigation of cases.
