LAGOS, NIGERIA (NPA): Police officers in Lagos State will face stricter accountability measures following the launch of a public feedback channel by Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Tunji Disu. The initiative, aimed at curbing misconduct, allows residents to report complaints directly to the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Alagbon, Lagos, which is personally overseen by the AIG.
In a statement, the Public Relations Officer of the FCID Annex, ASP Aminat Maiyegun, encouraged members of the public to share concerns or commendations through official channels: 07068865833, 08067167605, or pprofcidannex@gmail.com. She emphasized that the feedback system is designed to “promote accountability and professionalism” within the police force.
AIG Disu, who previously commanded the Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and earned recognition for crime prevention successes, has introduced this direct interface with the public as part of his broader strategy for practical and transparent policing.
Reports of police misconduct in Nigeria remain widespread, ranging from arbitrary arrests to roadside extortion and bribery. In Lagos, civil society groups and media outlets documented multiple cases in 2025 of officers extorting motorists at checkpoints, often demanding cash under threat of unlawful detention. While the Lagos State Police Command confirmed disciplinary action against some officers, watchdogs argue that accountability has been inconsistent.
The new feedback mechanism is expected to strengthen oversight and rebuild public trust in law enforcement across Nigeria’s commercial capital.
