The Federal Capital Territory Commissioner of Police, Haruna Garba, has warned members of the public to desist from using the command’s emergency numbers to obtain loans.
He stated this in a statement by the command spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, on Friday.
The CP issued a warning to the perpetrators, saying they would be brought to justice if they continued.
It partly read, “In the same vein, the CP enjoins non-state actors who have been engaging the Police emergency lines in their mischievous posts, aimed at misleading members of the public and those submitting same to obtain loans to desist from such and only use the emergency lines for its intended purpose as deliberate steps will be taken to arrest and prosecute the purveyors of these illegal acts.”
The CP also urged residents to cooperate with the police for improved service delivery.
“He equally tasks FCT residents to take advantage of the Police Control Room numbers in reporting suspicious activities: 08032003913, 08061581938, 07057337653, and 08028940883,” he said.
