BREAKING!!! IGP Bans Use Of POS Devices At Police Stations Nationwide | #Politicsnigeria

The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has banned the use of Point-of-Sales (POS) and other electronic mobile money transaction devices within police stations across the country.

Egbetokun said the ban has became necessary due to public outcry over alleged illegal and illicit transactions of POS machine operators within some police operatives.

The police boss, who spoke through the force spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the ban was aimed at preserving the integrity and security of police operation.

He stressed that the directive was also to forestall perceived corrupt practices, adding that it was to clear the Commands or Formations of possible criminal intrusion under such guise, and maintaining discipline within the Force.

The police boss said any command or formation caught flouting the order would be severely dealt with while police officers and POS operators involved would face dire consequences.

The statement reads in part: “Despite previous directives, it has come to the attention of the Force leadership that some Commands and Formations continue to flout this regulation.

“As such, the IGP warns that any violation of this ban will attract severe sanctions on the leadership of the affected Commands and Formations.

“The IGP notes that the use of electronic payment devices within police facilities poses significant risks, including the potential compromise of sensitive information, financial irregularities, and the facilitation of illicit activities, therefore, strict adherence to this directive is non-negotiable.

“The IGP urges all officers and personnel to comply with this directive without exception, and warns that any police officer or POS operator found contravening this order, or conniving to conduct illicit financial transactions will face appropriate disciplinary and criminal action in accordance with the extant laws and regulations, and the Command/Formation leadership will equally be held responsible.”

Police work is a cursed profession. No wonder most don't end well, their later life always a mess.

Police is One of the dirtyest institution in Nigeria. From the least officer to the topest ranking officer, they're all corrupt.
