The Nigeria Police Force has denied reports alleging that it compelled its personnel nationwide to purchase a handbook titled, “Attitudinal Change Handbook for the Nigeria Police Force” at the cost of N2,000 per officer
An online report had claimed that police authorities directed all personnel to pay the sum for the book, reportedly making the purchase compulsory with a deadline set for Thursday.
However, in a document sighted by Punch Metro on Monday, the approval was conveyed in a letter dated May 28, 2025, from the Department of Training and Development, Force Headquarters, Abuja, introducing the author, Dr. Joseph Danley.
According to the letter signed by the Commissioner of Police (Training), Rashid Afegbua, on behalf of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, the author was granted permission to market the handbook directly to interested officers who wish to purchase it voluntarily.
“I am directed to introduce Dr. Joseph Danley, author of the handbook “Attitudinal Change for Nigeria Police Force” and convey the approval of the Inspector-General of Police to enable him to directly market the Handbook to interested Police Officers who may wish to voluntarily procure same,” the circular partly read.
When contacted, the Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, dismissed the report as misleading.
According to him, the purchase of the handbook was entirely voluntary.
