According to a statement released Thursday by Assistant Corps Marshal Olusegun Ogungbemide, the Corps Public Education Officer, the dismissed officers include 31 who abandoned their posts, five involved in scandalous behaviour, and seven guilty of patrol misconduct.
Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed described the mass dismissal as a firm demonstration of the agency’s zero-tolerance approach to indiscipline and ethical breaches within its ranks.
The Corps Marshal highlighted that desertion constitutes a serious violation of service obligations, particularly for an organization responsible for safeguarding millions of road users daily. He added that scandalous conduct and patrol misconduct undermine public trust and contradict the Corps’ core values of discipline, transparency, and service excellence.
