PR Move: Police IG MD Abubakar Publishes His Cell Phone Number To Allow Nigerians Reach Him Directly
Do you have a security or corruption problem involving the Nigeria Police Force?
Then call the Inspector-General himself, Mohammadu Dahiru Abubakar, on 08059666666. That’s right: it is his personal mobile phone number.
In an unprecedented public relations move, Mr. Abubakar published the number this afternoon in Kaduna, charging all Nigerians who have security challenges to reach him directly, and also to report any policeman or officer found engaging in corrupt practices and abnormalities.
The IG was speaking at Force Headquarters in the city after inspecting some weapons recovered by his men from suspected rioters and bombers.
He warned that the Nigeria Police must change based on reforms he is spearheading towards changing its battered image.
The IG also blasted the Nigerian elite, alleging that some of them induce police officers to play their games by freeing hardened criminals who ought to be prosecuted.
SR Note: We tried calling the number of the Inspector General of Police MD Abubakar...several times! The only response we have gotten is.."The user is busy on another call. Please try after some time." Maybe you all will have more luck?

We can not even get our salary as at when due at least 26th/27th of the month as your predecessor did, when you are a junior officer under Tafa, ehidero, okiro, onofo and ringim, you do get your salary early, but now that you became IGP, you sat on peoples salary because you want it to yield more interest for you, CIVIL defence ar now geting their salary before NPF aswel as geting a better welfare package, as at 3rd of june, WE NPF have not receive may salary, pls pay our salary early so that we can settle our debtors without shame. Secondly, Tafa balogun said "I HAVE NO POWER TO INCREASE YOUR SALARY BUT I WIL PROMOTE YOU" pls mr IGP pls pay our salary early. Even the new uniform was not issue to us, pls we need prompt payment of salary before the sweat of a work man dry, so that we wil not engage in corrupt practices.
Police in Anambra state
on 17-May,2013,some police in ANAMBRA STATE DELAYED ME AT ONITSHA FOR MORE THAN 1HOUR FOR REFUSAL TO PART WITH MONEY. AS SOON AS THEY ALLOWED ME TO GO, SOME ORGANISED UNIFORMED KIDNAPPERS IN ANAMBRA STATE KIDNAPPED ME AND HELD ME HOSTAGE FOR MORE THAN I HOUR AND ROBBED OF MY MONEY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE POLICE.
PLEASE I HAVE A VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THE POLICE THAT FRUSTRATED ME THAT DAY. MY GSM NO IS 08058921796 FOR MORE INFORMATION.
The IG IS SELLING THE NEW POLICE UNIFORM -SHAMEFULL
Its very vivid people were praising the I. G for removing his men on the highways, as he call of road-blocks. However, talking with the four cardinal points of his mouth about transforming and restructuring the police, the I. G is once again found wanting. The armed forces had long forgotten when their new uniform was ordered and issued, unlike the police which turned it to an avenue to be more corrupt by making the uniform for sale to its entire personnels at the cost of 15,000 per pear. I swear the I. G is very much aware. Any police officer seen with the new uniform can confirm my word. Onikan division was said to have collected 1 pear , 6 landyard, 3pieces of inspectors bar, one provost barrate as the yearly issue for all its staffs which were not less than 100 personnels. The I. G has become a disgrace too. If policemen and women still have to buy uniform for themselves why must he [the I. G] sings his readiness, fooling the nation on anti_corruption crusade. Allah ya Isa.

Think you Mean well
God bless you, IGP Abubakar if you are truelly working at ridding insecurity problems in Nigeria. However, if its just a charade, God will surely deal with you. So far you have demonstrated some seriousness and I think you mean well, especially with your guys off the road, Kudos! I don't know how you are able to achieve this with the corrupt men that you have! but they are gradually finding thier way back. As for the number, its a good start, at least a way to bypass the coniving DPO's. However still, Nigeria deserves a responsive Police Call Centre to respond to distress calls... If you could do this, it would be a great achievement and add to your credibilty. Wish you well in your quest.
How I Knew He is Not Different from Others.
This man amused me when he gave out his cell number for people to call when they have security or corruption problem involving the Nigerian Police. The first question that came to my mind was, the number of calls this guy can take in one day, judging from the wanton corruption in the Police on daily bases and in a country of over 150 million people. Well I quickly let that thought go since I knew it was coming from a Nigerian official, knowing very well that most of their actions are based on self aggrandizement and ego. In a civilized and well organized system, the IGP would set up hotlines and call centers where calls are received, recorded, analyzed and channeled for follow-up. Brainless fools in positions.
about the killing of my husband since 2005 POLICE PRO Asaba
we are still waiting for who kill my husband in Benin City Edo State Police PRO from Asaba.
Thanks
Cheap & Crude PR
Good intention? I am not quite sure
One thing that is clear is that this sysytem is not used anywhere in the world. It wount work at micro level, talk less at National level. If , for instance a school principal would tell all students who have problem to contact him directly, it would produce absolutely useless result.
It appears to be a Crude form of PR directed at Almajiris, not educated Nigerians who understand that it is useless.
If he is serious, he should find his men who were supposed to prevent the massacre last week-end and expose and punish them. I mean the real people, the jihadists who allowed or even participated in the killings
I had the number from the
I had the number from the very first time he published it, when I saw policemen re-mounting check point inside our streets to "checking papers of vehicles only" in order to extort money from vehicle owners - when they were meant to at least make other searches; which they ignored (since its not lucrative)the IG or whoever he put in charge refused to even acknowledge the receipt of my sms or send me a reply. I am a citizen and if I could take the pains of sending an sms, i should get to know what I need to know. So, its not just publishing the number but actually acting to our distress sms.
IG Police Phone Number
We appreciate the zeal of the IG himself to contain crime in this country. But that phone No. will be busy all day and may not be easily reached.
May I suggest that he starts with the divisions, area commands, commissioners, Zonal commanders, before getting to the Ig. He will do nothing else but answer calls for the rest of his tenure.
He should set up a unit to be headed by a senior police officer which he can then monitor. The unit will handle such complaints.
Mr IG sir, we wish you a successful tenure.
May God help him to succeed
May God help him to succeed as IGP. He seems to have good intentions

IMPRACTICABLE
He cannot cope with such a call traffic. he will never be able to do any other thing than answer phone calls 24 hours every day of his IG life.
Nice reply dan uwa na. Allah
Nice reply dan uwa na. Allah ya yi maka albarka.
PROSECUTION OF INDICTED OWNERS/DIRECTORS OF ISPAT STEEL
I appreciate the action of the Acting IGP to facilitate communication with the public. I use this opportunity to call on him to act on Police Report (AB: 4099/LSX/D5F dated 10/11/05) THAT INDICTED Raj Gupta, Alok Gupta, Akinfemi Onadele and others for conspiracy, forgery,fraud and criminal conversion of our property (Plot C9 Amuwo Odofin Commercial Scheme situate next to their Plot C8). They used documents relating to their ownPlot C8 to obtain Governor's Consent to Assignment of Plot C9 belonging to my company. Both Plots C8 & C9 have the same registration no. 20/20/2066 at the Lagos Land Registry. Also the "fraudulently registered" Memorandum of Loss they used in place of the original C/O with me was cancleed by the Land Registry citing fraud!

AIGP PHONE NO? BE AFRAID. BE VERY, VERY AFRAID.
ALL IN A DESPERATE BUT, FUTILE BID TO BE CONFIRMED THE SUBSTANTIVE IGP. AND THEN, ONE STEP, FORWARD. TWO STEPS, BACKWARD. ZAMFARA STATE IS THE HOTBED AND THE BEDROCK OF THE ISLAMISTS, WHERE THE SHARIA LAW, HOLDSWAY. ABUBAKAR, A MUSLIM, IS FROM ZAMFARA STATE. IN THIS CRITICAL ERA OF MUTUAL DICHOTOMY, BETWEEN THE CHRISTIANS AND THE MUSLIMS; AND BETWEEN THE SOUTHERNERS AND THE NORTHERNERS; COUPLED WITH THE ACRES OF SPACE BETWEEN THE MIDDLE BELT AND THE HAUSA/FULANI ISLAMIST SEPARATISTS; THIS ALLEGED MOVE BY THE ACTING IGP - ABUBAKAR, IS FRAUGHT WITH DANGER. CAN THE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE, CONCEAL CLASSIFIED INFORMATION FROM GETTING TO THE THIRD PARTY??
Who wants to play boju boju?
This is like playing "boju boju" game that I used to play as a little boy. Anyone from Yoruba speaking area will understand what this is all about. What a silly joke.
@ BENJANI YOU ARE THE FOOL HERE
Are you aware of the previous efforts of the IGP? since his appointment he has demonstrated unprecedented attention and dedication to his duties as IGP. Whilst he may not have deployed the best possible solution to some of the problems confronting the Nigeria Police, he has done much more in a few months than most of his predecessors put together. I dont think any one expect this move of the IGP to resolve all the issues confronting the Police service but give credit where its due and to whom its due IGP Abubakar started well and is doing well so far. Though he can do better.
IGP Abubakar
This is profoundly pleasant but the IGP should please get the same thing done at the entire hierarchy of the Police including those manning each Police Station and Police Posts in Nigeria. Also there should be a national known number eg 911 as in the USA for emergency use by citizens as a first call-point. The presumption is those officers who would respond to such calls would be richly trained squad with knowledge of first aid, cpr, and emergency response in general. Let's protect live and property of Nigerians and treat ourselves as human beings.
