The Nigeria Police Force has commenced disciplinary proceedings against 151 senior officers over various allegations of misconduct and ethical breaches, in a move to reinforce accountability and professional discipline within its ranks.
Force spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
He said the review commenced on Monday, July 14, and will be concluded on Friday, July 25, 2025, at the IGP Smart Conference Hall, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
According to him, the officers, selected from commands and units nationwide, are appearing before the Force Disciplinary Committee (FDC) over alleged violations ranging from professional misconduct to breaches of internal regulations.
The Force spokesman stated that the disciplinary committee is the police’s internal body responsible for investigating cases involving senior officers from the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) upwards.
He noted that the committee plays a vital role in reviewing accusations, assessing evidence, and recommending appropriate sanctions under existing police laws and disciplinary frameworks.
“The Force Disciplinary Committee is an essential internal structure responsible for reviewing and adjudicating cases of alleged breaches of professional conduct, misconduct, and ethical violations involving senior officers of the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police and above,” the statement read.
Adejobi also reiterated the commitment of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, to discipline and ethical conduct within the Force and emphasised that the Force would not condone any form of indiscipline or misconduct under his watch.
