The Police at Force Headquarters 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.
Force Public Relations Officer, Anthony Placid, made the disclosure in Abuja on Wednesday.
“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,” he said.
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 Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, reaffirmed the commitment of the Nigeria Police 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 reiterated 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.
