The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed Inspector Adabo Mohammed for joining a robbery gang to rob a victim of the sum of N29.8 million in Abuja.
Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Friday said in a decisive move to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and integrity within the Nigeria Police Force, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has emphasized his administration’s zero-tolerance policy towards any form of indiscipline.
“In line with this policy, all cases reported against personnel have been creditably attended to, and justice have been done appropriately. Many of the erring officers have been sanctioned, while some cases are still at the orderly room trial level, and will soon be concluded.
“For instance, a Police Inspector has been dismissed from service while three (3) others were demoted to their previous ranks following thorough investigations which confirmed their involvement in various acts of indiscipline/crime.
“One Inspector Adabo Mohammed was dismissed for the offences of criminal conspiracy, armed robbery/kidnapping, and corrupt practice.
“The dismissed officer, along with 5 others were members of an armed robbery gang responsible for the robbery of the sum of N29.8 million from a victim in Gwagwalada, FCT as well as the kidnap of one Ikechukwu Emmanuel Okafor in Tunga Manje and the collection of ransom sum of N4.4m. The ex-officer has been charged to court accordingly,” he said.
