Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Two Police Inspectors, Sunday Adetoye and Ogunleye Stephen, attached to the Zone 2 Command Headquarters, Onikan, Lagos, have been dismissed for engaging in armed robbery, official corruption and illegal duty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe AIG has directed that the dismissed officers be charged to court alongside the civilians involved, while he urges all officers and men of the force to remain professional in the discharge of their duties by the law, as anyone found wanting will be accountable for his or her action or inaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe stressed that the current management of the Nigeria Police Force, under the leadership of IGP Kayode Egbetokun, would not tolerate any form of unprofessional and corrupt practice, while he implores members of the public to always report unprofessional conduct of officers and men, as the Police is always there for the protection of all,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
