The Nigeria Police Force has made a statement about citizens recording police officers in public. According to the Force New Media Officer, the Inspector-General of Police is not opposed to such recordings. The concern is with the misuse of these recordings, particularly when they are shared on social media.

The police are not trying to prevent scrutiny or deny citizens their rights. Instead, the focus is on how recordings are used, especially when officers are provoked or ridiculed. Further details are available from the Force New Media Officer's posts on X.

The statement comes after criticism of the Inspector-General's recent comments on the topic.
