From this thread https://www.nairaland.com/4629930/igp-ibrahim-idris-social-media

Reacting to this post that has gone viral on the Nigerian cyberspace about a comment made by the inspector general of police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris that he said that social media is for the criminally minded. First thing that came to my mind was how can he say a thing like that when the Nigerian police has several active social media accounts, EFCC, ICPC and all other security agencies have social media account both Facebook and Twitter. This comment generated a lot of controversy online to the point I decided to watch the video myself on YouTube to see how such a comment would spew out of such a high profile individual. Idris was purported to have said this while answering questions from newsmen shortly after attending a function in Abuja on Friday.
The Police boss was asked what the Force is currently doing about restructuring the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) as more Nigerians are calling for the end of police unit.
Responding, Idris who expressed dismay at the question, said:

“You see, you have to be careful about this clamoring.
“Social media is a technology available to those that are criminally minded and we have to be careful on how we respond to this clamoring like you are saying.

“SARS is a unit of the police that I believe should be sustained, what we are doing is to ensure that they are properly trained, and we are providing facilities for them that will make work easy for them. But I have to tell you that they are doing a very wonderful job.”

Now after analyzing this video with my team, we see no where he said social media is FOR THE CRIMINALLY MINDED, rather he said it is a TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO THE CRIMINALLY MINDED which is true. English scholars can easily decipher this because they are not the same thing. What he said is correct just the same way people use churches and other institutions for criminal purposes, same way they use social media. So what the IGP said is very correct. I see no reason for controversy. The funniest thing about this issue is that many people who reacted to this claim never watched the video, they never took time to listen to what the IGP said they just concluded and started bashing him online. Please I know the security situation in the country is not so good and everyone is angry but let’s not heat up the atmosphere any further. I also call on fellow bloggers to be extremely careful with the way we pass our information around because the internet is very powerful. Techcapon.com has decided to clarify this ensure everyone gets the right information. Thank you

Do they need technology to Rob a house or kidnap sum1 or hired an assassin, sell Drugss, du blood money.. all diz don dey exist before Technology... az Gun get advantage na so e Get Disadvantage same as Technology. With Technology you can trace your stolen phones, cars CcTV cameras are diz not part of Technology or which technology are u talking about. olodo dey worry him..

Look, I'm sick and tired reading anything about this incompetent transmission man

Can someone advise Ibrahim Idris to shut the fvck up?

Of course, I have watched the video before. He never said so. He was quoted out of context. Not that I agreed with the man's ways though.

he was correct na.

Transmission, Transmitter, Transmission, translation all is Transmission.

he said "available to those that are criminally minded", he didnt use the word "also"...so he bleeped...accept it or not

He forgot to say also

always looking for ways to save face after talking crap,d same thing they did when d fool said Nigerian youths are lazy

The problem with people nowadays be say dem no dey concentrate read news, digest am before replying. Dem go leave authentic news media go dey read blogs. 99% of blogs for 9ja no get any other work than to add Maggi, onions and tomatoes join original news. And youth of these days , Na only news wey involve breast and sex dem dey take time read.

Why be say after dis guy don talk finish dem go always find how dem go panel beat am after??

Damage control. Too litttle, too late.

No matter what this IG does, some people can never see good in him. Their mind is already made up. Can't blame them though. He has too many controversies surrounding his tenure.

I think they should let this man be. He has few months left to be retired so may be he is under stress. They should let him be, Nigeria problems can make someone run mad.

Idris just need some rest I think.

Nigeria: denial of truths from government is now the order of the day. Shame of a country.

I hardly believe in the news on social media at times.
But some people prefer to read from third party and begin to masturbate on it than take their time and hear from the horses mouth.
