The Police High Command is not happy with the activities of some of his men and officers at the Charge room.
This was conveyed by the Force image maker, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi. He said in a post on his Facebook page that there are reports of unprofessional action by these men.
According to him, it is criminal for officers to convert the charge room to extortion room.
Talking tough, he said such action would no longer be condoned.
Below is his post
Atrocities at Police Charge Rooms Must Stop: It’s unprofessional, shameful, and criminal for any policeman to demand money from any complainant before reporting and referring a case for investigation at any police station. We have received several complaints that some personnel at the counter (charge room) demand for dettol, detergent, and other items from relations of suspects in detention before having access or getting food to them.
This is an absurdity, and it’s condemned in its totality. We are working with command CPs and PPROs to address this with a view to eradicating such disservice and unholy acts. Nigerians are hereby urged to report any of such cases to their command CPs and PPROs and lodge the same via our provided complaints platforms. It must be stated without mincing words and emphatically that this act is unethical, unprofessional, and in variance with our SOP. Thanks.
