Recall that the CRU is an internal police oversight Unit of the Nigeria Police Force established in November 2015 and tasked to run a community-oriented complaint management system through which citizens’ complaint against police officers are addressed in real time.
The Unit has been forthright in helping to address the many incidents of human rights abuse on law abiding citizens as well as misdemeanor by many police personnel against Nigerians whom they are originally engaged to protect.
