Some civil society organisations have criticised Kayode Egbetokun, inspector-general of police , over the withdrawal of officers from the Kano Public Complaints and Anti-corruption CommissionOn Friday, the Kano police command recalled police officers attached to the state anti-graft agency “with a view to conducting a staff audit aimed at ascertaining the exact number of police officers seconded to the commission”.
In a letter signed by the Human and Environmental Development Agenda , Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre , and Resource Centre for Human Rights and Civic Education , the CSOs said the withdrawal of police officers from the agency raises serious concerns about the politicisation of law enforcement agencies.
“It is deeply troubling that law enforcement resources are being redirected away from combating corruption and instead appear to be utilised to obstruct investigations into high-profile individuals and undermine accountability.“This action threatens the principles of federalism, transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.”
