Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has firmly warned officers of the Nigeria Police Force to stay away from land disputes and other civil matters.
In a video shared on the Force’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Thursday, the IGP stated clearly that police personnel “have no business escorting parties for land recovery.”
IGP Kayode emphasized that the Nigeria Police Force is not a tool for enforcing private business interests.
According to him, such actions by officers bring the Force into disrepute, stressing that any officer found culpable will face disciplinary action.
IGP Kayode said, “Let me reiterate without ambiguity, the Nigeria Police Force is not and will never become an enforcer for private interests.
“Officers have no business escorting parties for land recovery business, disrupting legally existing occupations or meddling in civil cases without a demonstrable criminal element.
“Every such incident erodes the neutrality of the force and opens us up to disrepute. The line must be clear and any officer who crosses it, must face disciplinary consequences.”
