Egbetokun admonishes Nigerian to Stop taking complaints to social media

Kayode Egbetokun, acting inspector-general of police (IGP), has urged Nigerians to stop taking complaints against police officers to social media.

Egbetokun spoke on Tuesday during stakeholders meeting at the headquarters of the police command in Ibadan, Oyo state.

The meeting was attended by representatives of traditional and religious leaders; the leadership of the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII), leaders of the police community relations committee (PCRC), and Igbo and Hausa communities, among others in the state.

Egbetokun said Nigerians should feel free to report their complaints against the operatives to the commissioners of police or any other senior officer that would ensure justice is done.

Egbetokun said his mission is to put in place professional, service-driven, rule-of-law-compliant, and people-friendly police officers.

He said he is desirous of having a police force that would be able to respond adequately to the dynamics of crime and criminality in society and ensure citizens sleep with their two eyes closed.
