CP Haruna G. Garba, the Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory, has urged Nigerians not to use the command’s emergency numbers to get loans from loan shark firms.
In a statement issued on Friday, July 28, the CP revealed that non-state actors had also been using the emergency lines.
“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,” according to the statement.
