The spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has said that lodging a complaint in any of the police stations in Nigeria is completely free. 

Adejobi stated this on his X handle some hours ago.

He shared this information after a Nigerian man claimed he was asked to pay for stationaries when he went to lodge a complaint at a police station.

Reacting to the claim, Adejobi wrote;

‘’Where is this. Let me tell you for free here, too, that most of them lie that they buy everything they use in their offices. They say that to give you the wrong impression and win your sympathy. It’s all corruption. I have said it severally that at the charge room where you lodged the complaint, the DPOs office is close to it. Did you bother to see the DPO? ask them some questions and let the DPO say so. With the allocation they get from abuja, I am aware that many patners, NGOs, and PCRC members and units still support with stationeries at these stations. Dont be deceived by their antics of falsehood and appealing for public sympathy, bros.

Lodging of complaints at the Police station is free. If they they demand money to lodge a complaint, ask for the DPO or DCP. Dont pay for lodging a complaint as our stations. Evsn checking suspects in the cell is free. There is nothing like detol, soap, or sanitary items money. It’s all fraud. Its unpolice and improper. Don’t encourage it. Always get across to the DPO. DPOs nos are pasted on the walls of every station. Report any station that doesn’t have its DPOs number pasted or any help line. Its mandatory to have that pls.”
