“Report Yourself offers Nigerians the means to instantaneously report corruption, bribery, and graft with the option of filing an official complaint with the Nigerian Police Force Public Complaints Rapid Response Unit, (PCRRU).

“Through the State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement, we are working to increase the capacity of Nigerian law enforcement agencies and the justice sector.’’

Mr Shogunle also said that the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) noted that initiative will achieve its function.

He said: “When we increase our dedication to promoting transparency and enhanced the fight against corrupt practices in both the government and co-operate institutions.”
