Police exist to protect citizens, not to turn street corners into collection centers. Being young and presentable should bring pride, not terror. We demand professional policing. @TunjiDisu1

AN APPEAL TO THE KWARA STATE GOVERNMENT @followKWSG AND THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE @Kwara_PoliceNG ON THE UNETHICAL DRESSING OF POLICE OPERATIVES IN ILORIN. While public safety remains a paramount priority for every resident of Kwara State, the increasing presence of plainclothes personnel and improper attire at major checkpoints across Ilorin has created a severe identity crisis and genuine panic among citizens. Along strategic road corridors within the state capital, motorists and pedestrians are routinely flagged down by individuals dressed in mufti, jeans, T-shirts, and slippers, lacking official name tags, tactical vests, or recognizable service badges. While daytime operations show slight adherence to standards, nighttime operations present an alarming threat where citizens cannot distinguish between genuine law enforcement officers and armed criminals. This breakdown in standard operational protocols exposes unsuspecting Kwara residents to extreme risks. In an era where criminal elements impersonate security agents, forcing citizens to yield to unidentified personnel in dark, unlit locations severely undermines public trust and puts lives in jeopardy. Furthermore, the absence of proper identification encourages lack of accountability, arbitrary behavior, and unprofessional conduct. We call on the Executive Governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, and the Commissioner of Police, Kwara State Command, to urgently intervene. Restoring standard dress codes and professional conduct among field officers is critical to upholding police integrity, guaranteeing citizen safety, and protecting the peaceful reputation of Kwara State.
