President Bola Tinubu has cautioned Nigerian Police Force officers against intimidating and abusing members of the public, emphasising the need for them to uphold the rule of law and reject misconduct
Tinubu stated through the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio who represented him on Wednesday night this at the 2nd annual IGP’s Award and Commendation ceremony in Abuja
Tinubu said, “Be reminded that the power you wield is not for intimidation but for protection. It is not for abuse but for service. You must be guided by the highest standards of accountability and professionalism.
“Uphold the rule of law, protect the rights of every citizen, and reject all forms of misconduct and corruption. Only then can we build a police force that is truly respected and trusted by the people it serves.
“The federal government will continue to do its part. I must also charge every police officer, regardless of rank or posting, to uphold the sacred trust bestowed upon you by the Nigerian people.
“We will continue to invest in the provision of cutting-edge equipment, technological support, capacity-building programmes and welfare schemes aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and boosting morale across the ranks.Nigeria: Nigerian fashion
“This administration remains steadfast in its commitment to the transformation of the Nigeria Police Force. We understand that modern policing demands modern tools, continuous training, intelligence-led strategies, and community partnership.
“To our award recipients tonight, I congratulate you warmly. You have made the nation proud. You have reminded us of what is possible when duty meets dedication and when service is driven by honour.
