IGP cautions officers against meddling in land disputes and frequent case transfers

The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, on Tuesday expressed worries over what he termed the unwarranted and unethical practice of transferring ongoing cases and the misuse of public offices by certain officers.

The police boss, in a statement issued Tuesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, stressed that these practices undermine investigations and diminish public confidence in the force.

The IGP warned that any officer found engaging in the indiscriminate transfer of case files or misusing their office will henceforth face strict disciplinary actions.

The IGP vowed that such practices will no longer be tolerated, emphasizing that transparency, professionalism, and accountability must remain the guiding principles of policing in the country.
