The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has issued a strict directive warning police officers across Nigeria to stay away from land disputes and other civil matters.
In a video statement posted on the Force’s official X (formerly Twitter) account on Thursday, the police boss emphasized that the Nigeria Police Force is not an enforcer for private business interests.
- “Let me reiterate without ambiguity, the Nigeria Police Force is not and will never become an enforcer for private interests,” Egbetokun stated.
He condemned the involvement of officers in land recovery operations, stressing that police personnel have “no business escorting parties for land recovery, disrupting legally existing occupations, or meddling in civil cases without a demonstrable criminal element.”

The IGP further warned that such acts damage the reputation of the Force and compromise its neutrality. He assured Nigerians that any officer caught violating the directive would face strict disciplinary action.
Egbetokun added that maintaining professionalism and impartiality remains a core duty of the police, urging officers to focus on criminal matters rather than civil disputes.
