However, he said that petitions should be submitted directly to police offices.
The force spokesperson stated this in a post via his X handle on Monday, November 27.
Adejobi revealed that some dubious elements have hindered the justice of many Nigerians by charging and duping people of huge amounts of money claiming to process their written complaints or petitions.
He wrote: “It has been observed that many Nigerians seek the help and services of some unscrupulous and dubious elements in processing written complaints or petitions, which has hindered the smooth attention such petitions deserve and denied many justice.
“The Nigeria Police does not have agents to take and process petitions from Nigerians. These elements charge and dupe people of huge amounts under the pretence of processing their complaints with such monies and denting the image of the Police and our Senior Officers. This is improper and unacceptable. Nigerians are hereby urged to always drop petitions to our offices as normal correspondence, as there are no special treatments, or administrative bureaucracies on petitions.
“The public is urged to expose and report anyone who is fond of doing that via our published complaint platforms. We condemn this in its totality and will do everything possible to curb such, and whoever is caught in that dirty deal will face the full wrath of the law.”
