Inspector-General of Police Bans Public Parade of Criminal Suspects Nationwide
Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered a ban on the public parade of criminal suspects before the media, emphasizing the need to uphold human rights and align with global policing standards. The directive, previously communicated to all commands, aims to modernize policing and ensure suspects are not publicly displayed before formal charges are filed in court. The police warned officers to comply with the order while urging the media to practice responsible reporting to maintain public trust and promote a fair justice system that respects individual dignity.
