THE Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has commenced action against six of its officers, following the circulation of a viral video showing their acts of extortion along the Benin Bypass.
The Force spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi (ACP), stated in a post on X: “The Nigeria Police Force, in line with its zero-tolerance policy on extortion and unprofessional conduct, has taken immediate action.
“Upon their arrival at the Force Headquarters, the six erring officers, including their supervising officer, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), were marched in to appear before the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, who condemned their actions as shameful, distasteful and utterly unacceptable.
“He further ordered the immediate commencement of disciplinary procedures against all six officers involved. Accordingly, the officers have been queried, while orderly room trials for the Inspectors implicated in the video have commenced.
“This reiterates the Force’s commitment to upholding professionalism, integrity and accountability.
“The public is assured that such misconduct will not be tolerated under any guise and appropriate sanctions will be meted out in line with established disciplinary procedures.”
