The Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, has expressed concern over the growing trend of Nigerians recording police officers with their phones, saying the trend has become “very, very demoralising” for members of the force.
The police chief expressed this concern during a meeting with the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, and members of the NBA executive committee in Abuja.
The IG said a recent judgment on the recording of police officers had raised concern within the force, noting that citizens had subsequently begun recording officers in different locations.
He acknowledged that citizens had the right to record police officers performing their duties in public, but urged restraint in how such recordings were made and used.
