NPF sacks 12 Inspectors over alleged misconduct
The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed 12 inspectors and one corporal over allegations of discreditable conduct, including unlawful exercise of authority and damage to property.
The decision was contained in an internal police wireless message dated December 29, 2025. The message was issued by the Commissioner of Police in charge of the Department of Finance and Administration, Port Harcourt, following a directive from the Assistant Inspector-General of Police overseeing Zone 16, Yenagoa.
According to the message, the Assistant Inspector-General reviewed the orderly room proceedings involving the affected officers and upheld the punishment of dismissal from the force.
The dismissal was approved to take effect from November 20, 2025.
According to the message exclusively obtained by Very Nigerian on Thursday, the AIG reviewed the orderly room proceedings involving the affected officers and upheld the punishment of dismissal from the force, with effect from November 20, 2025.
The dismissed officers include Inspector Hycenth Oboh (AP/No. 228886), Inspector Friday Nyebe (AP/No. 263788), Inspector Awaye Michael (AP/No. 303101), Inspector Abubakar Zubeiru (AP/No. 304004), Inspector Michael Etim (AP/No. 305350), Inspector Bright Amadi (AP/No. 321188), Inspector Ignatius Ishiala (AP/No. 324247), Inspector Nelson Mbang (AP/No. 334568), Inspector Yakubu Dakilang (AP/No. 334982), Inspector Ise Happy (AP/No. 359236), Inspector John Ambros (AP/No. 359237), and Corporal Beloved Usman (Force No. 511320).
The message stated that the officers were found guilty of “discreditable conduct to wit unlawful exercise of authority and damage to article,” offences which warranted their dismissal from the Nigeria Police Force.
Following the decision, the police authorities directed the Integrated Personnel Payroll and Information System (IPPIS) office in Abuja, the Chief Finance Officer in Rivers State, and Pay and Policy units nationwide to immediately stop the salaries of the dismissed officers and drop their payroll cards where applicable.
In addition, the Provost Marshal and relevant command authorities were instructed to de-kit the affected officers and eject them from police barracks if they were occupying any official accommodation.
The wireless message further directed departments including Records, Audit, Computer, and Stores to amend official records accordingly, stressing that the directive should be treated as “very important.”
The message was marked “Immediate” and circulated to police commands in Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross River states, and other relevant formations for prompt compliance.
Very Nigerian gathered that the policemen were involved in the fatal shooting incident that occurred on June 18, 2024, at the Eberi-Omuma Local Government Council Secretariat, Rivers State, where two people were killed during a crossfire.
Those killed in the incident were identified as Inspector David Mgbada, a serving police officer, and Samuel Nwigwe, a civilian security operative attached to a local vigilante group.
Despite some of them including Inspector Oboh being discharged and acquitted during an internal police disciplinary process, he was still dismissed.
Very Nigerian also gathered that despite his dismissal, he has remained in detention since August 2024 without any formal charge against him, raising serious concerns over alleged violations of his constitutional rights to liberty and fair hearing.
