FEATURE: Dr Usman A. Ojedokun, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria, explores some of the context and contributing factors to the continuing problem of police impersonation in Nigeria, the impact it has on both the community and the Nigeria Police Force, and what steps can be taken to tackle the issue.

OPINION: Around 120 million Nigerians have access to the internet, with more than half using at least one social media platform, but police in Lagos have yet to maximise the potential of digital communications to fight crime; criminologist Dr Usman Ojedokun explores why, and what more could be done to engage with the public.
