Published on September 8, 2025

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has cautioned Nigerians against offering money or any form of inducement to police officers while on duty, stressing that such actions are unlawful and compromise the integrity of policing.

In a statement shared via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Sunday, September 7, 2025, the Command warned that giving money to officers undermines professional conduct and weakens public trust in the Nigeria Police Force.

“It is unlawful to give our officers money or any form of inducement while they are performing their duty. Let them discharge their responsibilities diligently, without interference,” the statement read.
