Abuja, July 16, 2025 — In a bold move to strengthen internal discipline and uphold professional standards, the Nigeria Police Force has announced that 151 senior police officers are currently appearing before the Force Disciplinary Committee (FDC) over various pending disciplinary matters.
According to a press release on Wednesday, 16th July, 2025, signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the disciplinary sessions, which began on Monday, July 14, 2025, will run through Friday, July 25, at the IGP Smart Conference Hall, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
The officers involved—ranging from the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) and above—were drawn from commands and formations across the country.
