IGP Kayode Egbetokun Warns Police Officers Against Meddling in Land Disputes.
Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has cautioned officers of the Nigeria Police Force against interfering in civil matters, particularly land disputes, warning that the Force will not serve as enforcers for private interests.
In a video posted on the NPF’s official X handle on Thursday, Egbetokun made it clear that police officers must not act outside their mandate by escorting parties for land recovery, disrupting lawful occupations, or meddling in civil claims without clear criminal elements.
“The Nigeria Police Force is not, and will never be, an enforcer for private interests,” he stated. “Every such action compromises our neutrality and drags the Force into disrepute.”
The IGP further warned that any officer found violating this directive will face strict disciplinary measures, stressing that the boundary must remain clear.
