The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has pledged that the Nigeria Police Force will act professionally before, during and after the 2027 general elections.
Disu said the conduct of officers during the polls would make Nigerians proud of the force.
He spoke to journalists on Wednesday after the launch of a book, The Origin of Women in Nigeria Police Force, written by 96-year-old retired Deputy Commissioner of Police, Dame Stella Okuyiga.
According to the police chief, the force recently held a conference of commissioners of police from across the country and other senior officers to prepare for the elections.
He said the meeting gave the police the chance to review their performance in earlier polls, identify what went well and address shortcomings that could affect their conduct in 2027.
“We just finished a conference of all commissioners of police and other senior officers. We have had two or three elections recently, and you can see the police did very well, and we did too,” Disu said.
“We have now brought all these experiences together, where we did well and where we did not do well, so that we can perform better in this big election that everybody is looking up to.”
He added: “I give you my word. Nigeria Police will do so well, and we will make Nigeria Police so proud, and we will make Nigerians proud.”
