ABUJA — The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has directed police personnel to ensure that technology deployed for policing is used lawfully, ethically and responsibly, with adequate safeguards for citizens’ rights, privacy and personal data.
Disu gave the directive in Abuja while launching the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) Vigilant App and the NPF–MTN Closed User Group (CUG) Network at the NPF Conference Centre, Jabi.
According to a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, the IGP described the two initiatives as practical measures supporting the Force’s digital transformation agenda.
He said the Vigilant App was designed to deepen engagement between the police and the public, while the CUG Network would strengthen internal communication and coordination across the Force.
