The Nigeria Police Force says in response to complaints received
from members of the public on professional misconduct of policemen, it had
redeployed all Divisional Police Officers, DPOs in Delta Command.
The Force Public Relations Officer, FPRO, ACP Olabisi Kolawole,
disclosed this in Abuja on Monday at a news conference to mark 100 days of
establishment of the Compliant Response Unit, CRU, (a social media platform
established through which members of the public can lodge their complaints and
get feedback on police officers’ misconduct).
Kolawole said, “Several officers have been redeployed from duty
posts including a total of DPOs by a police command.
“The action is in response to complaints received from members
of the public on professional misconduct of policemen.
“Beyond the feedback on police misconduct, the Force had
reassured the public of commitment to prompt efficient service delivery.
“An ACP is also being investigated, 16 junior officers were
facing disciplinary action for misconduct, while a traffic warden was
dismissed.”
The FPRO explained that the platform was not aimed at
castigating activities of police but to ensure international best practices,
adding that from investigation, Lagos had the highest complaints with 424,
representing 33 per cent, while Imo, Jigawa and Kebbi had two each.
