The Nigeria Police Force has launched disciplinary proceedings against 151 senior officers over allegations of misconduct and professional wrongdoing.

Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, made this known through the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, during a press briefing in Abuja.

The officers, who hold ranks of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) and above, are currently facing the Force Disciplinary Committee (FDC) at the IGP Smart Conference Hall in Abuja. The hearings began on Monday, July 14, and will run through Friday, July 25, 2025.

According to the IGP, this move is part of ongoing efforts to restore discipline, uphold professionalism, and rebuild public trust in the police.

“The Nigeria Police Force remains resolute in its commitment to promoting integrity, professionalism, and public trust,” the statement read. “No form of misconduct will be tolerated, regardless of rank or status.”

The disciplinary review covers officers from various police commands and units across the country. The committee is following police regulations and ensuring the process is thorough, fair, and transparent.

The Force Disciplinary Committee is responsible for handling cases of ethical breaches, professional misconduct, and abuse of power. After the hearings, the committee will forward its recommendations to the Police Service Commission, which will then decide on the appropriate sanctions or exonerations in line with the law.

This move signals the IGP’s strong message: accountability starts from within the Force.

More updates will follow as the disciplinary process unfolds.
