The Nigeria Police Force has expressed concern over reports of alleged extortion and unethical conduct surrounding the ongoing promotion interviews for inspectors aspiring to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police.
Reports alleges that some senior officers were demanding thirty thousand naira before granting promotional interviews to junior officers.
The Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, stated that such behaviour undermines the core values of the institution and will not be tolerated.
Adejobi also said the Inspector-General of Police, IG Kayode Egbetokun, strongly condemns any form of corruption in the promotion process and urged all officers to report any instances of misconduct promptly and directly to his office.
The Force reiterated its commitment to maintaining transparency and accountability throughout promotion protocols and called on all officers to uphold ethical standards to safeguard its integrity and credibility.
