AIG Akpanudom Warns Detectives Against Rights Abuse, Proxy Arrests, Corruption
A senior police officer has warned detectives in Lagos that the pursuit of criminals must never become an excuse for violating the rights of innocent citizens.
The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Lagos, Mr Simeon Akpanudom, gave the warning while charging officers at the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT), Lagos Island, and the Police Special Fraud Unit (PSFU), Ikoyi, to uphold professionalism, integrity and the rule of law.
Akpanudom spoke on Monday during separate working visits and lectures to the two police formations, where he cautioned detectives against human rights abuses, proxy arrests, corruption and other forms of professional misconduct.
