Police Constables Face Disciplinary Action For Escorting Students Union Leader In Adamawa

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has directed two unnamed Police Constables, currently stationed at the Jimeta Police Division within the Adamawa State Command, to face disciplinary proceedings under the oversight of the Force Provost.

VerseNews reports that this action is in response to their misconduct during the convention and election event hosted by the National Union of Adamawa State Students (NUADSS) between September 4 and 5, 2023.

According to NPF in a statement released on Monday, “Following a recent incident involving two Constables escorting a Student Union president in Adamawa State, their actions were unacceptable and do not represent the values of our Force.

“The officers, who are attached to Jimeta Divisional Police Command, along with their superiors, have been summoned to the Force Headquarters for appropriate action.

“It’s important to note that they were deployed to maintain peace and security during the convention and electoral process organized by the National Union of Adamawa State Students (NUADSS) on 4th and 5th of September, 2023.

“However their actions were not in line with the purpose for which they were deployed. They have both been referred to the Force Provost for further disciplinary actions. We are committed to maintaining professionalism and upholding the dignity of the Nigeria Police Force”
