The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has declared that officers on stop-and-search duties must be in uniform with their names clearly attached.

The Force Police Public Relations Officer, MUYIWA ADEJOBI, stated this while reacting to a video in which four policemen in mufti stopper a driver on Lekki-Epe Express Way.

ADEJOBI said the NPF had ordered that any policeman embarking on routine patrol or stop-and-search must be in uniform, properly dressed, and easily identified.

He maintained that it is not ideal to be on patrol while in mufti.

The police spokesperson added that policemen in mufti are supposed to be on surveillance or undercover and not to be seen with long-range guns or rifles.
