The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has said that any police officer found liable for misuse of power that resulted into the death, injury or indignity of citizens, would be dismissed fro

m service and charged to court.

He added that an administrative approach had been put in place to re-orientate personnel to enable them function in line with professional conducts. “I have already ordered that a signal be circulated to all police commands and formations, warning of dire consequences against any personnel that, by their incorrigible acts, deviate from accepted police culture and values.

“Furthermore, the line supervisors of such officer, including the Area Commander, Divisional Police Officer or Sectional Head, shall be held vicariously liable for lacking supervision and shall, be similarly sanctioned.”

Hope u are honest with this, mr. IG

Pray this is actioned

This is absolute crap, and political grandstanding. If such actions are carried out by his men, who do we report to How do we contact them Empty statements.... of no real consequence. The miscreants will just continue

Should be killed too stupid man....Don’t worried those so called uniforms menh they will gun your son or your daughter one day, Then you will know how it feels to lose a blood 😡😡😡😡🇳🇬

What is being said is that If a police man rob someone of his cash, he will just be dismissed only? That's a green light to go out there to rub citizens of huge sums then be dismissed to go enjoy their loot.Such a shambolics punishment. Take 15yrs off them without parole.

Only if you have power to do it.

Joke.. After 1O years, the Police Service Commission will reinstate them..

Still saw one breaking another motorist side mirror at lekki toll gate on sunday afternoon. Shitty officers. Enough of the talking. We want results.

Keep your words

Power abused? Or any police found killing innocent citizens will b sentence by deaths,and d citizens will witness its...

The judgement should be death by hanging as soon as possible. If it is only dismissal, they would continue to kill innocent people.

I think this country should learn from history. So one or two abuse of power deserve being dismissed. And you know what they are capable of causing our security after dismissal

they 'll be dismissed and form a bad gang to fight back

dmana07 We want them jailed

Thanks but this is not enough. They will only become armed robbers after dismissed. They should be tried and if found guilty, they should be given proportionate number of jail term or even death sentence as the case may be.

primary 5 law

Dismissal won't be the best solution, they will continue to unleash their terror even without uniform. We need a reformed police force.

Just dismissed He or she should be jailed for life.

Strong warning

Just imagine only to be dismissed please any police officer kill innocent lives should be brought to the justice and prosecute

Sir, the NigerianpoliceForce needs to be sanitized.... The rate at which crime is going on in the system is very worrying. If the people that were supposed to protect us are now the once stealing n killing us, who do we run to?

Not enough sule

Police officers in other climes, enjoy Good welfare, Good working conditions, and Good police training-especially on human relations. Mindset is a key factor that forms the action or inaction of a Police officer. His environment and background, are what form the way he thinks.

This isn’t an effective method. All officers should be given adequate training. In the event of any misuse of power, sanctions should be imposed.

Any Police that kill an innocent person, should be killed and not just dismissed....

That means we won't have a police force again

We don't want them dismissed, we want them to be prosecuted and jailed for their actions. Dismissing them will make them turn to other crimes. Ofa robbery is case study.

Okay Sir.

Na today?

Nope persecution would be better Sir

So only get dismissed no prosecution and jail sentence? It’s obvious that the IGP himself is the godfather of these corrupt police officers.

Only dismissed What of face the full rot of the law

Dismissed alone is not enough, they need to be try in a court and be punish to the fullest. We're all equal before the law; uniformed or civilian.

PoliceNG Our new IG seems to be a professional to the core, with this new policy to dismiss (prosecute) erring policeman found guilty of abuse, the force may reclaim her LOST glory in no distant future.

Is it only dismissal? Trial should be added cus if dismissed alone such person will abeit criminal act and also perpetrate it

Just dismissed? What if e go kill person ?

Dismissed and prosecuted

Just dismissal? It should be an eye for an eye!!! Chikena walahi

Let such awareness be spread to the least Police office in Rural areas where many of such cases are not even reported online for repost or retweet. The task is for one and all to sanitize the system.

And that's all? Bigger punishments should follow

If you dismiss them they go after the families of the deceased.

Dismiss or should be killed immediately.

Stop recruiting O'level in to Police force. The task is sensitive, it requires wisdom, understanding and sound education. The philosophy of education is to use education to build our Nation not nonentity.

Mtcheeew! Would you dismiss anyone who is not guilty of any offence?

Do you mean there is no jail term or what😕

Threatening is good ... but what is PoliceNG training plans ? Majority of PoliceNG men needs resetting

No sir, we want death sentence by hanging. Thank you

Be sure of your statement because we are 😃🙅👁️‍🗨️👀👁️

So any policeman that kills 1 and above number of people will just be dismissed?

Only dismissed?

Allah's Guidance and His blessings to this new IG. Once you do justice God will surely be on your side

Na today? Mtcheeewwwww!!!

Not enough punishment sir, he should be prosecuted and die in like manner !

PoliceNG Not when that police officer's killed an innocent girl of 20years. We need the officer to be slaughtered too on the national TV simple so that we can confirm a clean justice then others will learn. Saudi dey do am.

Tell all these ones about the abuse of alcohol fess. See their belle🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️😁😁😁🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏾‍♂️

That’s all? After taking ones life? This man sef

Its not hard to find abusive policemen. Its in the DNA of 90% of policemen in Nigeria. Solution is simple. Start afresh

Who b dis IG pls? If d man no get talk again cant he just keep quiet.

And be executed too, Mr I.G.- 'eye-for-eye' is the natural law

Action speaks louder Dan words.

Please stop treating murder cases with dismissal. It should be life imprisonment or death sentence.

AND KILLED

Not just dismissed also go to jail

Dismissed and walk on our streets? No way! They must face the consequences and rot in jail

AbadaEfeJulius - should be dismissed and allowed to face the law

Not only dismissed but face trial just like every other people
