The Police Service Commission (PSC), on Tuesday, dismissed seven senior police officers over gross misconduct.

The Commission also approved the reduction in rank of ten other officers.

The decisions were taken during the continuation of the 15th plenary meeting of the Commission.

Daily Trust reports that the meeting is expected to end on Thursday, October 6th, 2022.

The meeting, presided over by its acting chairman, Justice Clara Ogunbiyi, considered all the Pending Disciplinary Matters (PDM) before the Commission.

The PDMs, which totalled 47 and also treated some appeals from dismissed Police Officers.

Addressing newsmen shortly after the meeting in Abuja, the spokesman of the commission, Ikechukwu Ani said, the dismissed officers include: 1 CSP, 1 SP and 5 ASPs.

He added that one SP was also retired in public interest. The Commission reduced the ranks of 1 CSP to SP, 3 SPs to DSP, and 2 DSPs to ASPs.

The Commission further reduced the ranks of 4 ASPs to Inspectors.

10 senior Police Officers, including an ACP, a CSP, a SP and 2 DSPs were given the punishment of Severe reprimand.

Five ASPs were also awarded the punishment of severe reprimand.

13 Officers received the punishment of reprimand; 2 are to receive letters of warning while 4 officers were exonerated.

Ani quoted Justice Ogunbiyi as saying the Commission would henceforth give the desired attention to Pending Disciplinary Matters so that those found guilty are punished immediately while those found not guilty are cleared to continue with their career progression.

Justice Ogunbiyi called on Police Officers to ensure they operate within established rules and avoid taking laws into their hands.

She said the Commission will continue to work to sustain a professional Police Force that operates in line with the established rules and regulations and in conformity with international best practices.

Rubbish

Okay

Good. But these erring policemen latter work it into retirement and the younger ones among them permutate their appointment into other federal ministries or parastatal including Federal ministry of Education.



Have seen many.

Good move

Trash..

we want the names published...We must know how many Northerners were removed..

I'm valid na only Southerners dem chase that's why names weren't published..

Ndi ala olopa..

Sanity is returning to the Nigerian police system.

Nonsense, I will show you where you can see over 5 checkpoint in a less than 400km, all collecting bribe from lorry n bus drivers on daily basis

Good for them. They deserve it. Hope it continue like that. Please they should remember to collect their guns oooo, so that they will not go and stand by the road for rubbery

Nigerian police are like hardened criminals on the roads. I gave one my particulars sometime ago and he put them in his pocket while collecting money from other motorists.

Ok

Ooooh my God

fvck the popo

Ok

Noted.

What's their Name and last place of assignment...


We need to know...they should not impersonate Police officers anymore.

It's better to sack someone than to reduce their rank. That's the ultimate disgrace. How your juniors wey you don dey buga for go dey look you?

Mrkumareze:

Na lie. Total checking point in Nigeria is not up 5k.
If you want to exaggerate, do it moderately.

Abba Kyari aka super cop comes to mind.

This one's has been served their breakfast. Hope it's not an audio dismiss and demotion o because there is no name attached.

Mrkumareze:
Nonsense, I will show you where you can see over 5 checkpoint in a less than 400km, all collecting bribe from lorry n bus drivers on daily basis

You mean 4 Kilometers or 400 meters ?

400km should have more than 100 check points.

Even if all these won't stop police officers from harassing and extorting Nigerians,it will definitely force them not to be bold enough to do that anytime and anywhere they want.

Commendable

Nice

Good
