In his bid to trash out corruption
from the force, the Inspector-General
of Police, Solomon Arase said under
his leadership Nigeria Police has
fought corruption to the barest
minimum, and in the process about
50 police officers caught in corrupt
practices and misconduct have been
dismissed.

Speaking at the end of year IG
Conference, Arase 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.”
