The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has ordered a comprehensive investigation into the operation of police personnel in the Southeast region regarding human rights violations as reported by Amnesty International.

In a press statement issued from the desk of the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the order became necessary following a 128-page report recently published by Amnesty International, titled “A Decade of Impunity: Attacks and Unlawful Killings in South-East Nigeria.”

According to him, the report alleged that there is a pattern of extrajudicial killings and human rights violations by the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies in the region.

He maintained that, in line with the IGP’s resolve and his commitment to transparency, accountability, and operational professionalism, he has directed relevant departments and affected field formations to undertake a meticulous line-by-line assessment of the report.

The process, according to him, will involve cross-referencing the allegations with internal operational records, field intelligence, and situation reports from police commands and tactical units within the Southeast region.

Adejobi, however, added that while the Nigeria Police Force remains committed to upholding the fundamental rights of all citizens, it is equally necessary to place on record that previous reports by Amnesty International have, on occasion, included factual inaccuracies and sweeping generalisations.

He informed that the current review will therefore be guided by facts, operational evidence, and a dedication to institutional integrity.

“After the review, the Force will issue a detailed and evidence-based response, addressing the specific issues raised in the report. This engagement will reflect the Force’s principled approach to constructive criticism and its responsibility to protect public trust through verified information and contextual clarity,” the release stated.

The Force Spokesperson further maintained that the Inspector-General of Police is using the medium to reaffirm the Force’s commitment to lawful, accountable, and rights-based policing.

He added that the Force will not lose focus on its efforts to enhance internal accountability mechanisms, improve training in human rights standards, and deepen institutional reforms in line with global best practices.

Adejobi reassured that the Nigeria Police Force remains open to genuine engagement with civil society organisations, human rights institutions, international partners, and the National Human Rights Commission.

“The IGP encourages all stakeholders to approach such matters with objectivity, accuracy, and a balanced understanding of the complex security realities confronting the country,” the release added.
