The Nigeria Police Force has commenced disciplinary proceedings against 167 senior officers over alleged misconduct and breaches of professional standards.

The exercise, being conducted by the Force Disciplinary Committee at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, is aimed at reviewing pending cases involving officers from the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police and above.

According to a statement by the Force spokesman, Anthony Placid, the committee is mandated to thoroughly examine each case in line with established laws and regulations and make appropriate recommendations to the Police Service Commission for necessary action.

“The Nigeria Police Force has commenced the sitting of the FDC to review pending disciplinary matters involving 167 senior police officers over alleged breaches of professional conduct and other related offences.

“The Force Disciplinary Committee, a key internal mechanism, is responsible for the review and determination of 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,” the statement read.

He said the Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, said the disciplinary process underscored the Force’s commitment to accountability, professionalism, and ethical conduct.

He stressed that any officer found guilty would face due process, noting that the ongoing review was part of broader reforms to strengthen internal control mechanisms and boost public confidence in the Force.

He said, “The Inspector-General of Police reaffirmed the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to discipline, integrity, and professionalism, noting that no officer found culpable of misconduct will be shielded from due process.

“The IGP emphasised 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.”
