ForceDisciplinary Committee (FDC) of the Nigeria Police is currently trying 195 senior police officers for various offences.


Among those facing trial are four Assistant Inspectors General (AIGs) of Police, 17 Commissioners of Police (CPs), two Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) and six Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs).


The remaining ones range from the ranks of Chief Superintendents of Police (CSPs) down to Superintendents of Police (SPs).
The trial which began on Monday will last till Friday.

Chairman of the FDC, Suleman Dauda Fakai, disclosed this at a news conference in Abuja on Monday.

The FDC is a committee of the Force comprising all Deputy Inspectors General (DIGs) of Police and the Force Secretary who is the Committee’s Secretary.

The committee essentially serves to review disciplinary matters involving senior officers from the rank of ASP and above who may have erred one way or the other in the course of their duties.
Fakai told newsmen that the current management of the Force inherited over 3,000 cases, which, according to him, have been cleared.



He added: “From January this year till date, we have dismissed one CP, one ACP, one CSP, two SPs and eight ASPs.

“In the same period, we have also forcefully retired two CSPs, one SP and 13 ASPs.

“We have also reduced the ranks of one DCP, three CSPs, seven SPs, one DSP and 10 ASPs.”
He noted that for officers who are queried either from the Force Headquarters or officers who engage in misconduct in the various commands, “The query will be forwarded here together with the write-ups and the officers are expected to appear here and defend themselves on what they have done.”

“This committee will submit its findings and recommendations to the Inspector General ofPolice (IGP) and finally to the Police Service Commission. The Police Service Commission will give the appropriate punishment.

“The punishment ranges from dismissal and prosecution, dismissal, reduction in rank, severe reprimand, warning letter, letter of advice or exoneration. (That means the person was found not to have committed
theoffence in question).

smartchoice: Is Rivers State cp Mbu involved?

What has the man done?

So the top ranked police are even more advance in crime than the 'wetin you carry'.
Little wonder they couldn't do anything to curb the crime in our society.

Professional misconduct of antagonizing the Rivers State CSO in the media. Very unbecoming of senior police officer. Though I hold no brief for Mr Amaechi!
