The Nigerian Police Force says it has dismissed nine officers for criminal misconduct. The dismissal according to a statement on Tuesday was a ‘major sting operation to checkmate corruption and professional misconduct within and outside the police.’
The statement further stressed that the action targeted personnel of the Force who use their official capacities to carry out or get involved in any misconduct to serve as deterrent to others.
“Personnel of the Force who erred and compromised in discharging their duties and betraying the official oath of office were arrested, subjected to internal disciplinary measures and punished according to the gravity of their offences,” according to the statement.
