No fewer than 151 senior police officers are currently facing the Force Disciplinary Committee (FDC) over various pending disciplinary matters.
Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
Adejobi said the exercise which commenced on Monday, July 14, and will end on Friday, July 25, is a decisive step towards reinforcing internal accountability and professional standards.
The disciplinary hearing is taking place at the IGP Smart Conference Hall, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
He said the Force Disciplinary Committee is an essential internal structure responsible for reviewing and adjudicating cases of alleged breaches of professional conduct, misconduct, and ethical violations involving senior officers of the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police and above.
“The affected officers, drawn from various commands and formations across the country, are expected to undergo a thorough and transparent review process in line with extant police regulations and disciplinary procedures for final recommendation to the Police Service Commission,” Adejobi stated.
