IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun,
By: Umar Faruk
The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed a viral fake news story claiming that Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, instructed citizens to physically assault and throw stones at police officers who request to search their phones. According to the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, this claim is entirely false and has no basis in reality.
The IGP has instead encouraged citizens to report instances of police misconduct through appropriate channels, emphasizing the importance of accountability and maintaining the rule of law. This approach promotes a cooperative and trustful relationship between the police and the communities they serve.
To facilitate this, the Nigeria Police Force has provided several channels for citizens to lay complaints. These include:
Police Helplines:

Social Media: @PoliceNG on X, @ngpolice on Facebook, and @nigeriapoliceforce on Instagram

The police have urged members of the public to remain vigilant against misinformation and verify information through credible sources. By doing so, they can help prevent the spread of false news and promote a safer, more informed community
