Nigeria Police Cautions Against Lobbying For Special Promotion

….nWarns Public Against Misleading Online Reports

The Nigeria Police Force has issued a stern warning to its officers and the general public over the growing trend of lobbying for special promotions, cautioning that such acts undermine the integrity of the Force’s structured promotion process.

According to a press release signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, this follows the recent accelerated promotions of a number of officers recognized for exceptional performance, bravery, and professional conduct. In a statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the police clarified that the recent exercise was not arbitrary but part of a deliberate, merit-based reward system implemented under the current leadership of the Force.

“The officers promoted in the recent exercise were selected based on verifiable standards and due process, having demonstrated extraordinary commitment to duty and professionalism,” the statement noted. “This does not represent a blanket or indiscriminate special promotion initiative.”

The Force also expressed concern over misleading narratives being pushed by certain online platforms, falsely suggesting that arbitrary promotions were being handed out. DCP Adejobi dismissed these reports as false, unfounded, and an attempt to discredit the credibility of the Nigeria Police Force.

“The public is hereby urged to disregard such baseless reports. The NPF remains committed to transparency, accountability, and meritocracy in all its personnel decisions,” the statement emphasized.

In addition, officers have been strongly warned against engaging in lobbying or unofficial efforts to secure promotion. According to the Force, any such conduct will be met with stringent disciplinary action in line with existing laws and internal regulations.

Reaffirming its commitment to a promotion system built on integrity, merit, and honourable service, the Nigeria Police urged its personnel to continue to uphold discipline and professionalism in the discharge of their duties.
