The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed, demoted, and sanctioned several officers over various acts of misconduct, including murders and extortions. This was disclosed in a ‘police wireless message’ dated January 23, 2025 obtained by SaharaReporters.

The police document said, at the forefront of the disciplinary measures, 19 officers have been dismissed and are set to face prosecution for various offences. Among them are ASP Ogunmuyiwa Saburi, ASP Idris Dan-Auta, CSP Pascal Ugocha, SP Yakubu Hankuri, DSP Mohammed S. Jahun, DSP Ayodele Emmanuel, and DSP Jimmy Ayeni. The prosecution of these officers has been handed over to the Commissioner of Police (CP) Legal at the Force Headquarters for further legal proceedings.

Others slated for court trials include ASP Imoohi Dora, ASP Lawali Ahmed, ASP Salisu Ibrahim, and ASP Monday Ahmad Opanda.

ASP Abdullahi Garba is facing prosecution for murder and culpable homicide, reflecting the gravity of allegations levelled against some of the affected personnel.

Additionally, 24 officers have been demoted for professional misconduct. Notable among them are ACP Mohammed Aminu, reduced to CSP, and CSP Helen Ajuma Negedu, now downgraded to SP. SP Bello Aliyu and SP Ehimen Paul have been reduced to DSP, while DSP Haruna Abdulmumini and DSP Ferdinand Oyigbo have been demoted to ASP.

Several Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASPs), including Ndikamwu Henry, Enimade Oyediran, Ojulari Olaseni Oluwadara, and Adewumi Adeola, have been reduced to the rank of Inspector, signifying the force’s zero-tolerance approach to discipline breaches.

The disciplinary action also saw 10 officers issued severe reprimands, including ACP Muhamad Auwal Yunusa, ACP Kalat Shamang, and CSP Nwanchor Emmanuel.

Meanwhile, nine others, including DCP Mohammed A. Jika and CSP Mathew Omosun, received official reprimands for various infractions.

Further actions include the demobilization of ASP Emmanuel Kura from the Police Mobile Force (PMF) and the directive for DSP Hauwa Kulu Sulaiman to refund nine days of salary. Additionally, DSP Ayuk Tachen has been surcharged for the loss of a firearm.

In contrast, DCP Coker Olalekan James was exonerated after investigations cleared him of any wrongdoing.
