Officer,
If the matter is not reported on social media and the reporter become the accuse and the matter was swept under carpet that is to say the reporter may landed in police custody or prison yard. Give us your direct line and promise not to victimise nor turn the case round. Thank

[quote author=DONSMITH123 post=39842017][/quote]

USA and police forces world wide have used social media severally to arrest perpetrators and criminals

I see no reason why the Nigeria police are so blind to that fact

As a matter of fact i think they should have a special division for twitter and Facebook updates , dedicate a page on each platform to report crimes by , hashtaging crime , location and time it's being perpetrated so , that the special division will dispatch officers to resolve the issue

As much as i'd love and wish to see that happen It's not going to happen as long as those mowruns , illiterates and over zealous officers are still in the force, it'll never work


Imagine some erdyots claiming to be SARS went to a student's house, they found laptop , no modem , no notepad or files on desktop , but when they got to his bathroom and found white soap (from a Celestial church harvest ) in a white plastic , they concluded he's a yahoo boy and took him away to pay 60k for his release

That's the current trend in Osun, several cases have been swept under the carpet

My point being , as long as some people are still in the Force, there's no hope for Nigeria

Why not? They don't want us to expose their nyash? They don't want the world to see the true failures that they are? Nonsense.

Police should stop giving excuses and simply follow the trends to improve on their job delivery. This is the 21st century! Technology should not be seen as a impediment, but as an enabler.
I am very sure that the police have an official twitter handle.
All they need to do once they see a crime posted up is to simply follow the victim on twitter, request for more information on location, time, and description of the perpetrators, and then take it from there.
You can't sit down in your office in this age and expect people to travel all the way from the crime scene to come and report to you when they don't even have confidence that anything will be done, and on that you will be asking the victim to buy pen and paper for you to write the report, you guys should know that the police station is the last place any sane person will want to go, unless when it becomes completely unavoidable.

No be Run dem go carry if na Strong Theif mata or clash...

I dey crase? The foolish fools will arrest you, put you in the media and accuse you of robbery.

Lol...
Na today nyash dey for back

Going to the station to report a case is like reporting yourself to the police for robbery.....

If dem no arrest you sef,dem go say if you want 1police to follow you bring #5,000
If you want 2 with Gun brin 10,000....

No be only police..
Any problem comes my way,I will handle it my own way without any capital letter problem

OnankpaBa:

DONSMITH123:
The Lagos State Police Command on Monday urged residents of the state not to report traffic robbery and other crimes first on social media but to the nearest police station.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Joseph Offor, who made the appeal on Monday, said the reports would help the police in strategising on how to combat crimes and forestall occurrence.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni, had lamented that Nigerians were fund of reporting crimes first on the social media.

He noted that reporting first to the nearest police station would help the police to prevent further occurrence.

He also spoke about how some distress calls were actually blown out of proportion and advised the residents to always verify their information before causing panic.

The PPRO added that making false reports of crime incidents on social media was a cheap blackmail against the leadership of the Nigeria Police.

“People should endeavour to report every road traffic robbery to the police station so that we will know who to hold responsible.

“This will help us to strategise and come against those people behind the crimes.

“We are not denying the fact that we have a couple of traffic robberies here and there but we have arrested some of the suspects.

“We have also prevented some of them that were about to be committed.

“When somebody is a victim of a crime, he knows where to go,’’ Offor told NAN.

“If you go to a police station to report, it will help us to have the statistics of crime being committed in that area; it will also help us in our planning.

“It will help us in our research but when people decide to report their cases to the social media, we see it as a cheap blackmail against the leadership of the Nigeria Police.

“And this is worrisome because it is not helping our statistics.’’

According to Offor, people making crime reports on the social media are not helping the system as planning and strategising cannot be based solely on statistics got from such reports.

If you report matter to police, you become a suspect.
Nigerians started the "crime alert" on social media, just to help other innocent citizens to avoid such troubled areas..
Telling the police won't help the innocent citizens that might want to ply that road who as a result may consider an alternative route.
It is left for the Nigerian Police to find a way to make this new "crime alert" thing to work them.

report to Nigerian Police. lailai. I dey craze. I was picked pocket last week at Oshodi bustop, thank God I was fast to c guy who did it. I held him and was shouting ole ole. a Police man was 2 yards away from me, looking at me. u now telling me to report case to police. make thunder fire Ma yansh if I do am.

"People should endeavour to report every road traffic robbery to the police station so that we will know who to hold responsible".

The police should monitor the social media for latest reports, instead of looking for who to hold responsible for a robbery report.
Social media is how we all know how bad the security situation is today, meanwhile the police have been there all along.
