Edo Police Misconduct: IGP Disbands Team

In a bold move to address the unprofessional conduct of some Police Officers attached to the Edo State Police Command who were responsible for running over a citizen at Ekpoma, the Acting Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olukayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has taken the decisive action of disbanding the team forthwith.

A statement signed by the Force PRO, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the Acting IGP “aims to regularize and standardize police operations in the axis; and restore public trust in the Police Force.”

Additionally, the operatives involved are currently facing disciplinary charges and  administrative procedures. This move underscores the commitment of the IGP to hold officers accountable for their actions which will never be tolerated in the Nigeria Police Force.

The Inspector-General of Police reiterates his commitment to ensuring the highest standards of professionalism and ethics, while urging members of the public to always cooperate with Police Officers in the discharge of their statutory duties.
