The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Olatunji Disu, has reiterated the Nigeria Police Force’s zero-tolerance stance on corruption, misconduct, abuse of office and all forms of unethical conduct capable of undermining public confidence in the Force.
Disu, who was on a working visit to Enugu State, said the Nigeria Police Force under his leadership remains committed to strengthening its forensic capabilities and deepening institutional partnerships to ensure its policing capacity keeps pace with the nation’s evolving security needs.
According to a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Anietie Iniedu, the IGP reaffirmed the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to advancing intelligence-led, technology-driven and evidence-based policing.
As part of the visit, the IGP participated in the commissioning of the Centre for DNA Forensics, Criminal Investigation and Biotechnology (DeFOCI), where he described the facility as a strategic national asset that will strengthen criminal investigations, enhance the administration of justice, and support the adoption of scientific methods in modern policing.
The IGP commended the Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, Godfrey Okoye University, the DNA Learning Center, and all partners whose collaboration led to the establishment of the Centre.
He noted that the facility would provide valuable opportunities for forensic research, capacity building and institutional collaboration, while supporting investigations into serious crimes, including homicide, kidnapping, terrorism, armed robbery, cybercrime, human trafficking and sexual offences.
Addressing officers of the Enugu State Police Command, the Inspector-General commended their dedication and sacrifices in maintaining peace and security across the state.
He charged personnel to remain vigilant, strengthen intelligence gathering, embrace continuous professional development, and uphold the highest standards of discipline, integrity and respect for human rights in the discharge of their duties.
The IGP further reassured officers that the Force would continue to prioritise personnel welfare, training, operational capacity and the provision of modern policing equipment.
