The Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase has said the police under his leadership has fought corruption to the barest minimum, stating that the force has dismissed 50 police officers for corrupt practices and misconduct.

He stated that 56 others were sanctioned for various offences between May and November, 2015.

Arase, who stated this during the end of the year IG Conference at the Force Headquarters, Abuja on Thursday, explained that as part of efforts in ensuring peace in the North-East, 3000 personnel were deployed in the liberated areas.

He said, “Between May and November, 2015, the anti-corruption enforcement architecture emplaced by the Force leadership has led to the dismissal of a total of 50 personnel for proven corrupt practices while another 56 have been awarded various punishments.

“The IGP Monitoring Unit, X-Squad and the Provost Marshal have been charged to sustain the enforcement drive in the upcoming year while the policy of holding Commissioners of Police, Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers, vicariously liable for such distasteful professional misconduct will also be reinforced.”

Meanwhile, the IG has inaugurated a scholarship award for 301 children of personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty and for those who have excelled in their various duty posts.

Arase called on philanthropists and corporate organisations to support the foundation which he said would also cater for children of victims of police brutality.

He said, “The Force leadership will profoundly reward the families of serving police officers that keep faith with our vision for a professional, discipline, civil, loyal and incorruptible Police Force in a way that will motivate them for higher performance.

“It is also for our colleagues that paid the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty. They shall not walk alone. We, as their commanders and colleagues, will do everything within our professional powers to keep their invaluable dreams alive and support the family they left behind.”

[size=15pt]Abeg o, they still remain for Ibadan here o. Come carry them.[/size]

Good one if true.

That is why the case of Impersonations and armed robbery is on the daily rise..
Dismissing them without any formal trade-learning abilities by the dismissed policemen will only increase crimes...
Because Men who handles the rifle as a source of livelihood for years and getting dismissed is not a good way to go for the average civilians whom they are coming to live among..

Joseph Mbu should top the list.

Only 50?

Good for Nigeria.

Working IGP

good, very good. but 50 is too small , they are more than that. make dem no just dismiss them, make dey jail them small and I know corrupt police men will b on this Nairaland , one day dem go get u too.

Glad to know!
We have so many bad eggs in that force but these few should serve as a detrrent to other corrupt ones

This is just the beginning

Nice post

No matter they dismissed them,they will still be corrupt ones among them..

[size=18pt]Only in Nigeria. You dismiss corrupt police officers so they can reorganize and join armed robbery gangs and terrorize the nation. Whatever happened to prosecuting offenders for corruption. Oh! I forgot. Corruption is not a crime in Nigeria [/size]

I just dislike these men in black...

Good for them

Let there be an avenue where one can report any misconduct or corrupt practices of any Police without victimization.

My though exactly.wouldn't have been bad if he had sacked 50 from each state as a warning

Replying your stupid comment is a waste of time and intelligence.

Good for them

Nice if true

Sack all policemen including yourself

Then, re-employ only the ones:

1.Who don't ask for bribe on the way

2. Who don't make pidgin English their lingua franca

3. Who are neat and don't wear dirty shoes

4. the ones who are not paddies of agberos, ogogoro sellers and hookers

Then, I will clap for you

Until then:

thats ok

Nope but I simply advocated in first making them learn some handworks so they can fall back on those acquired skills so as not to be a future problem to the society at large... No pun intended please..

Hmmmmmmmm... There are thousands more to dismiss o.
