In a bold move to reinforce transparency and accountability, the Nigeria Police Force has announced the activation of its official WhatsApp line—08057000003—exclusively for receiving complaints regarding police misconduct.
Taking to its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the Force reiterated its dedication to addressing issues of police malpractice swiftly and effectively. The Police Complaint Response Unit (CRU), responsible for managing the WhatsApp line, operates 24/7, ensuring that citizens across the country can report incidents of misconduct at any time.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to restore public trust and eradicate impunity within the police ranks. With Nigeria’s sprawling population and diverse challenges, this service provides an accessible and straightforward channel for all citizens to voice their concerns, with the assurance that action will be taken.
The #NoToImpunity campaign accompanying this announcement signals a clear message: there will be zero tolerance for officers who violate the law or abuse their authority. The move reflects the Nigeria Police Force’s evolving approach to integrating technology and public feedback in their reform efforts.
By offering this platform, the Force aims to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the public, providing a direct line of communication for grievances and ensuring that no act of misconduct goes unchecked.
