The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has officially denied claims that it mandated all its personnel nationwide to buy the “Attitudinal Change Handbook for the Nigeria Police Force” at a cost of N2,000 per officer. This clarification comes in response to recent online reports suggesting a compulsory purchase directive with an imminent deadline.

According to a letter dated May 28, 2025, from the Department of Training and Development at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, the handbook’s author, Dr. Joseph Danley, was authorized to market the book only to interested police officers who choose to purchase it voluntarily. The letter, signed by Commissioner of Police (Training) Rashid Afegbua on behalf of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, explicitly states that there is no obligation for personnel to buy the handbook.



When reached for comment, NPF’s Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, described the circulation of the report as misleading and reiterated that the purchase is completely voluntary.
