Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, has voiced his dismay regarding citizens recording police officers, particularly for use in social media skits. Disu stated the practice is “very, very demoralising” for the police force. He expressed these concerns during a meeting held in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria. The statement, captured in a video shared by TV Platinum on Wednesday, highlights a growing tension between law enforcement and public documentation of their actions. The Inspector-General’s comments suggest a desire to curb the widespread practice of citizens filming police encounters. The issue appears to revolve around the impact of these recordings, often shared online, on the morale of police officers in Nigeria. This comes amid ongoing discussions regarding police accountability and public trust within the country.
