The Complaint Response
Unit of the Nigeria Police Force has resolved 324 cases out of a total of 405
complaints made against the police by members of the public between July 1 and
September 30, 2016.
Fifty-one cases reported during the period were
found to be false while 30 cases are pending, a report released on Thursday in
Abuja by the Officer in charge of the CRU, Acting ACP Abayomi Shogunle, stated.
The CRU said it recovered N2.75m bribe from an
Assistant Commissioner of Police, serving in one of the state commands in the
South-East, after a complaint was made to the unit through a telephone call.
The police stated that
the money was recovered from the ACP after the case was referred to the X-Squad
for necessary action in line with the directive by the Inspector-General of
Police, Ibrahim Idris, that the X-Squad be integrated into the CRU responding
agents.
Findings indicated that the errant senior
officer had been referred to the Police Service Commission for disciplinary
action.
