“All police officers should have their name tags on them at all times while on duty — even me as the IGP, I wear my name tag,” the Inspector-General of Police has stated while emphasizing professionalism and accountability within the force.

The statement, which has sparked reactions online, highlights the importance of proper identification for officers during operations and public interactions. According to the police chief, visible name tags help promote transparency, discipline, and public trust in law enforcement activities.

Many Nigerians have reacted positively to the remark, with some calling for stricter enforcement of the directive across all police commands and units nationwide.

The development comes amid ongoing conversations about police conduct and reforms within the country’s security agencies.
