Nigerians have been advised by Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, to hold onto their hard-earned cash and property despite threats from law enforcement.
Egbetokun made this declaration at a meeting with important officers in charge of the police force’s internal control systems at the force headquarters in Abuja.
The IGP said that his leadership of the police would close the gap in public confidence in the service.

Egbetokun demanded the swift administration of justice against negligent police officers as well as the adoption of steps to prevent unprofessionalism.
“Over the years, we have observed that the conduct of some personnel significantly deviated from the expectations of the force leadership,” the IGP said.
“Officers who are supposed to uphold the value of integrity and upon whom society places high moral expectations are frequently seen breaching the trust placed in them by the public.
“At this junction, I want to emphasize that while we continue to implement internal measures to curb acts of extortion and other vices, the citizens must join hands with us.
“I urge the public never to succumb to intimidation or part with their hard-earned money or properties unjustly,” he added.
