The Acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Alkali Baba, on Thursday, ordered the immediate disbandment of the Monitoring Satellite Offices in Lagos and Port Harcourt over complaints of harassment and operating beyond their briefs by Nigerians.
The IGP made this known while speaking at his maiden meeting with Command Police Commissioners and zonal AIGs, in Abuja.
He stated that the IGP Monitoring Units will be re-organised.

According to Punch, the development is coming 24 hours after the Police Service Commission asked the IGP to check the proliferation of police investigating units.
The commission stated that the units were bringing huge embarrassments to the force.
The commission Chairman, Musiliu Smith, said there must be proper and close monitoring of police investigative units to stem the atrocities its officials committed in the line of duty.
The retired IGP had also stressed the need to quickly treat cases of misconduct by the officers “so that those found wanting are brought to book”.
