 NIGERIA POLICE FORCE COMMENCES DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS AGAINST OFFICER IN EKITI STATE VIRAL VIDEO


The Nigeria Police Force  has taken firm and decisive action following the circulation of a video on social media showing a police officer in camouflage uniform displaying conduct grossly inconsistent with the standards of the Force.


Upon becoming aware of the footage, the Ekiti State Police Command immediately identified him as a Sergeant attached to the Ikole-Ekiti Divisional Police Headquarters. He has since been taken into custody to face disciplinary action. 


The Commissioner of Police, Ekiti State Command, CP Falade Adegoroye Michael, has directed a comprehensive psychological and medical evaluation of the officer. This assessment is a mandatory prerequisite to the formal disciplinary process, ensuring that the Force addresses both the conduct violation and any underlying health concerns in a thorough and responsible manner.


The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu psc(+), NPM, unequivocally condemns the conduct displayed in the video as a gross deviation from the discipline, professionalism, and decorum required of every member of the Nigeria Police Force. 


The Force maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward substance abuse and any behavior that undermines the integrity of the uniform or erodes public trust in the institution.
