Police authorities say it will henceforth start eliminating cases of police extortion by holding Divisional Police Officers and Commanders responsible for the actions of officers in their units.

The Acting Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, who announced this in Abuja on Friday, said the move was part of measures being put in place by the force to protect Nigerians and eradicate cases of extortion and harassment of people by police officers.

Adejobi asserted that the Nigeria Police Force, under the watch of the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, would work assiduously in repositioning the police force and restore the trust of Nigerians.

He assured that through the new intervention, the police would be able to bridge the noticeable leadership gap in the force and restore sanity to the force’s operations.

The tweet read, “In a bid to reduce or possibly put a stop to the extortion, harassment, and brutality in the NPF, we will henceforth hold DPOs and Commanders responsible for the misdeeds of their men.

“In as much as we don’t promote vicarious liability, we have equally noticed that some superiors fail or lack the willingness and/or wherewithal to supervise and manage their men.

“This leadership gap is not in tune with the leadership styles of the IGP and his repositioning drives, thus, counterproductive and condemnable.”
