Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, has said that the Nigerian Police will not tolerate any form of indiscipline among police officers.
Recently, there were threats by policemen to go on strike due to non-payment of their salary arrears.
The IG in a statement on Thursday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu said “It has come to the notice of the Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba that some members of the public have adopted the mischievous path of inciting junior police officers to disrespect their oath of office.
“The IG wishes to draw attention to the dangers inherent in police officers disobeying superior orders and acting outside the code of conduct. It does not portend well for public safety and security, and is a threat to our democracy.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the Nigeria Police Force will never tolerate any iota of indiscipline in the form of a strike, or work-to-rule among its personnel. Any officer found to be engaged in such a despicable act will be arrested and sanctioned in line with the Police Regulation and the laws of the federation.”
