The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has confirmed that some police officers were protecting the arrested foreign hackers were on an illegal duty.

It would be recalled that the Nigeria Police Force on November 04, announced the arrest of 130 suspects linked to high-level cybercrimes, hacking, and activities threatening national security.

The group included 113 foreign nationals — 87 men and 26 women — mainly from China and Malaysia, as well as 17 Nigerian collaborators.

Egbetokun while speaking at a workshop organised for the standardisation of criminal investigations, said the police officers had been arrested and were currently being detained.

He said, “And the fact that some policemen were also seen protecting these foreigners. Yes, it is true. The policemen have been arrested. We found out that the policemen were on illegal duty. Nobody deployed them.

“They were not properly deployed for that assignment.”

He noted that their commander had disowned them, vowing that the police officers protecting the foreigners would be dealt with.

Egbetokun said, “I have explained that those police escorts were not formally deployed by the police authority, but they were found performing illegal duty. And they have already been found escorting the arrested foreigners.

“Already in our custody, their unit commanders have denied that they send them.

“So they were performing illegal duties, and they will be dealt with accordingly.”

He, however, clarified that there were individuals in society, especially employers of labour and big businessmen who deserved police protection.

Egbetokun said, “That, again, does not remove the fact that we have to deploy for the protection of certain individuals in our society. There are VIPs that the police have to protect.

“There are big businessmen, employers of labour. Some individuals have thousands of Nigerians in their organisations. Such individuals deserve protection.

“Because if anything happens to them, you can imagine what will happen to their businesses. You can imagine the effects on the unemployment rates in our country.

“So, such individuals, we look at their position in society. We look at what they contribute to the economy of the country. And we decide whether they need police protection or not.”

The IG also said some policemen attached to people who did not deserve police protection were not deployed formally.

He said, “Some of these policemen you see attached to people who don’t deserve police protection were not actually deployed formally by the police authority. Some of them were picked on the streets.”
