The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has issued a strong warning to the public against offering money or any form of inducement to police officers while they are on duty. In an official statement published on Sunday, September 7, 2025, via its verified social media channels, the Command highlighted that such actions are not only unlawful but also undermine the integrity and professionalism of the Nigeria Police Force.
The Command explained that attempts to give money or tips to officers compromise the core values of law enforcement and weaken public trust. They urged citizens to allow police officers to perform their duties diligently and without interference, emphasizing that accepting money could jeopardize careers and hinder efforts to build a transparent, accountable security service.
Reaffirming its commitment to upholding professionalism, the FCT Police Command called on residents to support anti-corruption efforts by refusing to engage in bribery and reporting any officers who solicit or accept such inducements. Complaints can be made through the Command’s designated Complaint Response Unit (CRU) hotline at 08107314192 or the emergency contact number 08032003913.
The statement also noted that the Nigeria Police Force continues to strive for improved service delivery and encourages cooperation between the police and communities in fostering a safer environment for all.
This announcement is part of broader ongoing reforms within the police force aimed at restoring public confidence, improving discipline, and ensuring that policing in Nigeria’s capital city is conducted with integrity and respect for the rule of law.
