The Nigerian Police Force Has warned that it does not have agents to take and process petitions from Nigerians saying those seeking to get justice should drop their petitions directly to police offices as normal correspondence.
A statement on Sunday by the Force’s Public Relations Officer,ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said that the advice became necessary as the help and services of some elements in processing written complaints duped them and denied them justice while also denting the image of the police.
The statement reads:
It has been observed that many Nigerians seek the help and services of some unscrupulous and dubious elements in processing written complaints or petitions, which has hindered the smooth attention such petitions deserve and denied many justice.
The Nigeria Police does not have agents to take and process petitions from Nigerians. These elements charge and dupe people of huge amounts under the pretence of processing their complaints with such monies and denting the image of the Police and our Senior Officers. This is improper and unacceptable. Nigerians are hereby urged to always drop petitions to our offices as normal correspondence, as there are no special treatments, or administrative bureaucracies on petitions.
The public is urged to expose and report anyone who is fond of doing that via our published complaint platforms. We condemn this in its totality and will do everything possible to curb such, and whoever caught in that dirty deal will face the full wrath of the law.
