Promotion Malpractice: IGP Vows Severe Disciplinary Actions On Erring Officers
By Anne Osemekeh, Abuja
The Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has warned that severe disciplinary measures await any police officer involved in any form of promotion malpractice in the Force.
The Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) made this known in a statement on Tuesday.
TheFact Daily gathers that the stern warning follows reports of alleged extortion and unethical conduct surrounding the ongoing promotion interviews for Inspectors aspiring to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police, a development which is of grave concern to the Force.
According to Adejobi, such behavior undermines the core values of the institution and will not be tolerated.
“The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun strongly condemns any form of corruption in the promotion process and urges all officers to report any instances of misconduct promptly and directly to the IGP through the dedicated hotline at 09077120194 or to the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) at 08037168147”, the statement read.
While reaffirming the Force’s commitment to transparency and accountability in all promotion procedures, the Force spokesman urged all officers to maintain ethical standards and work collectively to uphold the integrity and credibility of the NPF.
