The Nigeria Police Force has begun disciplinary proceedings against 167 senior officers over alleged violations of professional conduct and related offences.
Anthony Okon Placid, force public relations officer, disclosed that the Force Disciplinary Committee (FDC) is currently sitting at the Force headquarters in Abuja as part of ongoing efforts to reinforce internal accountability and uphold professional standards within the Force.
The committee, which handles cases involving officers from the rank of assistant superintendent of police and above, is mandated to conduct a thorough, transparent, and fair review of all pending matters.
Its findings and recommendations will subsequently be forwarded to the Police Service Commission for further action in line with existing laws and regulations.
Reacting to the development, the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, said the proceedings form part of broader institutional reforms aimed at strengthening internal control mechanisms, promoting ethical conduct, and improving public trust in the police.
He reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to discipline, integrity, and professionalism, stressing that any officer found guilty of misconduct will face due process without exception.
The Nigeria Police Force also reiterated its resolve to maintain high standards of accountability and service, ensuring that all personnel operate in line with the core values of the profession.
