Wetin you dey expect when dem dey give job by connection rather than competence. If you know say you no marry a virgin and you've not yet gone for DNA test on your first child (atleast), then I no see any difference between the police gazette error and your own. Both of you are very wrong!!!

What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news of DNA test

Na only Bribe Nigeria Police Sabi...

Police is not ur friend, take Note....

What do you expect from illegal IGP

Error or no error, we all understood the message and should help the police.

What do you expect from the government of certificate forgers and mediocres?

You sacrifice qualifications for nepotism.

This is the result.

No be today nau. If you have visited any police station, it will not be new to you.

Not as much errors as I expect to find. The main point is, the guy in subject is a murderer and wanted by the police, period.

Tribalism and tribalism will not allow government organisations recruit brilliant people.

We know education quality has plummeted badly, but lots of people yonder have very bad English. Even many highly educated ones.

We should kukuma be using pidgin or vernacular. E go just better pass.

Comedy Central Naija i hail thee

If the guy is guilty as charged, let the long arms of the law catch up with him.
If he is innocent, may God protect him from the evil planned for him.

I am Igbo.
I stand for justice

His face is clear enough for me to identify him if I see him

This Lagos State Police Command's X post is a case study of how poor administrative quality like literacy errors can lead to a severe failure in public relations and increasing existing societal divisions like ethnic friction, potentially detracting from the primary goal of public safety and justice.

It's a powerful and unfortunately all-too-common scenario Igbos see every day in the hands of their haters. This silly bulletin should be condemned in all fronts including but not limited to the following areas.

1. On Literacy and Professionalism: The extensive grammatical and spelling errors like "Wanteded," "Gazezette," "Murdered by stabbed" severely undermine the command's credibility and professionalism.

2. On Weaponization of Identity: The suspect's Igbo identity was generalized to blame "Ibos" for crime in Lagos. This demonstrates how a seemingly neutral piece of official information can be weaponized by the public to intensify Yoruba-Igbo tensions.

3. On Wasted Effort: The message's core purpose to solicit help in finding a suspect is overshadowed by the mockery, leading to a loss of focus on the actual crime and suspect.

4. On Impact on Trust: These errors suggest a lack of care, attention to detail, or basic administrative competence, making the public question the reliability of the entire operation and the accuracy of the information provided.

5. On Modern Context: As the replies pointed out, such errors are particularly egregious in 2025, where basic proofreading tools are widely available.

6. On Public Safety and Effectiveness:
While the message provides necessary details like name, age, crime, address, physical traits, the professional failure detracts from its utility.

6. On Clarity of Information: Though the core facts are present, the poor phrasing could potentially introduce ambiguity, though in this case, the physical description heavy build, limping and Festac Town address are valuable and directly helpful for identification.

7. I can go on and on....

This is the clear case of when people have been so blinded by tribalism that it reflects in their every day activities not only in the street but also in the government.

The Lagos State Police Command's should expunge hatred for the Igbos and focus on doing their job professionally as severe literacy errors like this shamefully undermined their credibility and draws unnecessary public mockery.

typo. No proofreader. Cut and join

I said last time that the Nigerian police force are filled with illiterates and lack intellectuals, but some nairaland terrors attack me.
In a foreign society, graduates and intellectual experts are recruited into security units and armed forces departments, but here politicians use such offices as a reward to thugs.

However, don't forget that Nigeria is a disgrace country

All I know is that he can't hide forever. His crime will catch up with him soon.

You do the crime, do the time

Promotion na by connection
Recruitment na by connection

This is how the North and the SW have destroyed Nigeria.

Trump exact description of Nigeria as a Now Disgraced Country is very apt, and should have been a wake up call, to right the wrongs of many years of Northern ruin of the country in the name of leadership which the south West have now continued at a much higher proportion

They probably fed Google Gemini a template used for another suspect and told it to recreate with new names and images.

They forgot that even Gemini gets tired..

Your public service in general and the Police in particular is full of illiterates and semi-illitrates

Cut Gemini some slack. Na Mai Gworo AI do this one.

Imagine the grammatical blunder this ragtag rogues are posting! As if that was not enough, the last clause "If seen, arrest and hand over to ... " is the dumbest statement ever to be made by law enforcement in the 21st Century!!! How do you expect me to arrest a person suspected to be dangerous? Racoons are more organised than NPF 😁

See pot calling kettle black, "Grammatic errors".

Very embarrassing to the image of NPF

This is smear. Campaigne, I may not like the police but those at panti are very learned.

Before a gazette is made public it must pass through several office and proof read.
