The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has warned its personnel against engaging in extortion, bribery, theft, and other forms of misconduct, reaffirming its commitment to professionalism and accountability within the force.
The command stressed that police officers are expected to uphold the law and maintain the highest standards of integrity while carrying out their duties. It emphasized that any officer found engaging in extortion or other unethical practices would face appropriate disciplinary action in line with established regulations.
Police authorities reminded officers that public service requires honesty, discipline, and respect for the rights of citizens, noting that criminal conduct is incompatible with the responsibilities of law enforcement personnel.
The warning forms part of broader efforts by the FCT Police Command to strengthen public confidence in policing by promoting transparency, ethical conduct, and accountability among its officers.
The command also encouraged residents of the Federal Capital Territory to report incidents of extortion, harassment, or other forms of misconduct involving police personnel through the appropriate complaint channels. Public feedback, it said, remains essential to improving service delivery and ensuring officers remain accountable for their actions.
According to the police, maintaining discipline within the force is critical to enhancing operational effectiveness and fostering stronger relationships between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve.
The renewed directive reflects the command’s determination to curb corrupt practices, improve professionalism, and reinforce public trust in the Nigeria Police Force.
Authorities reiterated that officers are expected to carry out their duties fairly, lawfully, and with respect for the rights and dignity of every citizen.
