The Nigeria Police Force has announced that 151 senior officers are currently facing the Force Disciplinary Committee over various allegations of misconduct and professional infractions.
The disciplinary proceedings, which began on Monday, July 14, will run until Friday, July 25, 2025, at the IGP Smart Conference Hall, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
According to a statement on Wednesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the move was to enforce internal accountability and reinforce professional standards.
He said the officers, drawn from various commands and formations across the country, were being subjected to a “thorough and transparent review process” in line with existing police regulations and disciplinary procedures.
The officers under scrutiny are of the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police and above.
“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,” the statement read.
He said the outcomes of the hearings would be forwarded to the Police Service Commission for final decisions on the appropriate sanctions or exonerations, in accordance with the law.
The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, reaffirmed his commitment to restoring discipline and integrity within the Nigeria Police Force.
He declared that his administration would not tolerate any form of indiscipline or misconduct, regardless of the rank or status of the officers involved.
He said, “The Nigeria Police Force remains resolute in its commitment to promoting integrity, professionalism, and public trust.
“The disciplinary process reflects the Force’s keenness to maintain an accountable and service-driven institution, where standards are upheld and the rule of law is respected from within.”
