The Nigeria Police Force has commenced the sitting of the Force Disciplinary Committee to review pending disciplinary matters involving 167 senior police officers over alleged breaches of professional conduct and other related offences, the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Anthony Okon Placid, has said.
Placid, in a statement on Tuesday, said the exercise is currently underway at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, as part of efforts to strengthen internal accountability, enforce discipline and uphold professional standards across the Force.
He said the Force Disciplinary Committee is responsible for reviewing and determining cases involving senior officers of the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police and above.
“The process ensures a thorough, transparent, and fair examination of all matters in accordance with extant laws and regulations, with appropriate recommendations to the Police Service Commission,” Placid said.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to discipline, integrity and professionalism, stating that no officer found culpable of misconduct will be shielded from due process.
Placid quoted the IGP as saying that the ongoing disciplinary proceedings form part of broader institutional reforms aimed at strengthening internal control mechanisms, promoting ethical conduct and enhancing public confidence in the Force.
“The Nigeria Police Force reiterates its resolve to uphold the highest standards of accountability and service, ensuring that all officers conduct themselves in line with the core values of the profession,” Placid added.
