The Nigeria Police Force disciplinary committee at its headquarters in Abuja says it is reviewing pending allegations of unprofessional conduct against 167 senior officers.
DCP Anthony Placid, the Force spokesperson, in a statement on Tuesday, said the senior officers facing the committee hold the rank of assistant superintendent of police or higher.
He said: “The Nigeria Police Force has commenced the sitting of the Force Disciplinary Committee (FDC) to review pending disciplinary matters involving one hundred and sixty-seven (167) senior police officers over alleged breaches of professional conduct and other related offences.
“The exercise, which is currently underway at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen internal accountability, enforce discipline, and uphold professional standards across the Nigeria Police Force.
“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.”
Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Disu, while reaffirming the commitment of the force to discipline, integrity, and professionalism, noted that no officer found culpable of misconduct will be shielded from due process.
IGP Disu explained that the ongoing disciplinary proceedings are part of broader institutional reforms to strengthen internal control mechanisms, promote ethical conduct, and enhance public confidence in the Force.
The NPF reiterated its resolve to uphold the highest standards of accountability and service, ensuring that all officers conduct themselves in line with the profession’s core values.
