He also said, “even to check suspects in the cell is free.”
Adejobi said, paying money to lodge complaints at the Police Station or to check suspects in the cell is “unpolice and improper”, adding, “ask for the DPO or DCP, if they demand money to lodge a complaint”.
Force PRO Adejobi said: “Lodging of complaints at the Police station is free. If they they demand money to lodge a complaint, ask for the DPO or DCP. Dont pay for lodging a complaint as our stations. Evsn checking suspects in the cell is free. There is nothing like detol, soap, or sanitary items money. It’s all fraud. Its unpolice and improper. Don’t encourage it. Always get across to the DPO. DPOs nos are pasted on the walls of every station. Report any station that doesn’t have its DPOs number pasted or any help line. Its mandatory to have that pls.”
