The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has clarified that Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, is not opposed to citizens recording police officers during their official duties.

According to the clarification, Disu’s concern is with the misuse of such recordings for skits, entertainment and other content rather than legitimate documentation of police activities.

@AChidiebub48127: It is now clear

@KOparati: Don’t record the police for content is a clear message 👌

@Dospage1: Fair clarification. Citizens should be able to document police work for accountability, but turning officers into content just for views can also cross the line. There should be a clear balance.

@AigbojeDes74360: It’s better be as clarified
