The Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) has stated that only five percent of the bad elements in the Nigeria Police Force are responsible for the negative perception of the Force. This claim was made by the National Chairman of the PCRC, Alhaji Mogaji Olaniyan, during a meeting with a delegation from the Inspector-General of Police’s Complaint Response Unit (IGP-CRU).
The PCRC aims to redouble its efforts to make the policing system easier and protect the rights of citizens. The PCRC is satisfied with the way the IGP-CRU is piloting its affairs and appreciates the efforts of the unit to address misconduct. However, there is a plea for the public to not give false information against police officers and to prosecute those who do.
The IGP-CRU's Acting Head, SP Fidelix Jonah, clarified that the unit is not set up to witch-hunt officers but to address misconduct and protect innocent officers and civilians. He also stressed the importance of collaboration between the CRU and the PCRC in building confidence and improving professionalism in the Nigeria Police Force.
