It has been revealed that the Nigeria Police Force said it has
received 498 cases of professional misconduct against its personnel
across the country from January to March.
According to Punch Metro, the Head, Public Complaints Rapid
Response Unit, NPF, Abayomi Shogunle, disclosed this in a report, on
Thursday, in Abuja.
Shogunle said the number of cases of misconduct against the police
decreased by 52.8 per cent in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the
1,054 cases recorded in the first quarter of 2016.
He said the unit resolved 355 cases out of the 498 it received
while 65 cases received were found to be false and unrelated with 78
cases still pending.
Shogunle said more than 10,000 phone calls were received from the
public members during the period under review and that out of the
figure, only 362 phone calls relating to the mandate of the unit were
processed.
He said telephone calls topped the channels of receiving complaints
with 362 cases just as 75 WhatsApp messages, 29 emails, 12 tweets,
seven SMS texts, four Facebook posts and nine hard-copy letters and
media publications were received during the period under review.

years after the matter was reported to the unit.
Shogunle said the Lagos State Police Command topped in the number
of complaints against its police officers with 90 cases, FCT 69 and
Rivers 59.
He said Kwara and Ekiti police commands recorded no case during the
