The Inspector General
of Police, Solomon Arase, has urged Nigerians to assist the police to become
better by reporting corruption, bribery and bad conduct in the force.
Arase said this in
Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on Monday during a sensitisation workshop on
Reporting Corruption in the Police, using thestopthebribes Platform.
The workshop was
organised by the CLEEN Foundation in partnership with thestopthebribes Platform, a forum created by the IG to
instill discipline and professionalism in the force.
The IG said many of the
officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force were currently undergoing
punishment for cases of proven corruption and unwholesome conduct.
He appealed to members
of the public to avail themselves of the use of smart phones and android phones
to report any erring police officer or station or command to the stopthebribes Platform for action.
“Mechanisms are in
place to ensure confidentiality of information and identity of complainants,”
he said.
The Programme Officer,
CLEEN Foundation, Gabriel Akinremi, said report on corruption and bad conduct
in the police could be sent to the stopthebribes Platform through email, sms, phone
calls, Twitter and Facebook.
