151 police officers face disciplinary committee over professional breaches

No fewer than 151 senior police officers are currently facing the Force Disciplinary Committee (FDC) for various pending disciplinary matters.

The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Wednesday described the development as a decisive step towards reinforcing internal accountability and professional standards, adding that the exercise commenced on Monday, 14th July till Friday, 25th July 2025, at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.

“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 involving senior officers of the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police and above.

“The affected officers, drawn from various commands and formations across the country, are expected to undergo a thorough and transparent review process in line with extant police regulations and disciplinary procedures for final recommendation to the Police Service Commission,” the statement said.

‎According to Adejobi, the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to discipline and ethical conduct within the Force, emphasising that the Nigeria Police Force will not condone any form of indiscipline or misconduct.

“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 maintaining an accountable and service-driven institution, where standards are upheld and the rule of law is respected from within,” Adejobi added.
