The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun has frowned at the reports of alleged extortion and unethical conduct surrounding the on-going promotion interviews for Inspectors aspiring to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police.

Such behaviour, the IGP said, undermined the core values of the police force and would not be tolerated.

A statement on Tuesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said: โ€œThe Nigeria Police Force is gravely concerned by reports of alleged extortion and unethical conduct surrounding the ongoing promotion interviews for Inspectors aspiring to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police.

โ€œThe Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun strongly condemns any form of corruption in the promotion process and urges all officers to report any instances of misconduct promptly and directly to the IGP through the dedicated hotline at 09077120194 or to the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) at 08037168147.

โ€œIn the light of these allegations, the Nigeria Police Force reaffirms its commitment to transparency and accountability in all promotion procedures.

โ€œAny officer found engaging in corrupt practices for personal gain will face severe disciplinary measures. All officers are urged to maintain ethical standards and work collectively to uphold the integrity and credibility of the Police Forceโ€.
