Police unveil app for Nigerians to report fraud cases

The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, launched the Nigeria Police Force Vigilant App and the NPF–MTN Closed User Group Network in Abuja to improve the reporting of financial fraud and enhance communication among police personnel. The Vigilant App is a citizen-facing platform that allows users to report suspected fraud cases, upload evidence, track cases, and receive feedback.

The NPF–MTN CUG Network provides secure and affordable on-net communication for police officers nationwide, supporting emergency coordination and operational response. Both initiatives were developed in collaboration with stakeholders in the financial services sector and were attended by representatives from various institutions, including the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Presidential Committee on Economic and Financial Inclusion, and MTN Nigeria.
