The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has cautioned content creators, social media users and members of the public against the indiscriminate recording and circulation of police-related videos, warning that such actions could undermine security operations and demoralise officers.
The IG expressed concern over what he described as the growing trend of recording police officers during routine and sensitive operations and posting such content online without proper context.
Speaking during an interactive session with Crime Correspondents in Abuja on Sunday, he said, “Yes, accountability is important, and we remain committed to transparency.
“However, recordings and public engagements involving police officers must be done responsibly and should not be used to harass officers or undermine operational effectiveness.”
