The Commissioner of Police for the FCT Command, CP Ajao Adewale, has issued a strict directive to officers prohibiting illegal detention, interference in civil matters such as land disputes, and extortion.

He ordered immediate release of suspects held for minor, bailable offenses and emphasized that bail is free, warning that officers extorting money will face disciplinary action.

The CP condemned police involvement in civil cases and demanded accountability for violators and supervisors who fail to enforce this directive.

The public is urged to avoid offering bribes, and misconduct reports can be sent to the Complaint Response Unit at 08107314192 to ensure professionalism and respect for human rights.
