Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed three of its officers for unprofessional misconduct, which included the misuse of firearms.<\/p>\n

The Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said on Thursday that the dismissal of the policemen was subsequent to complaints and findings on a video which went viral on Friday, April 7, 2023.<\/p>\n

Adejobi said the officers engaged in high-handedness, unprofessional conduct, and misuse of firearms.<\/p>\n

The three cops, who were from the Special Protection Unit (SPU) Base 1, Kano, were identified as Inspr. Dahiru Shuaibu, Sgt. Abdullahi Badamasi and Sgt. Isah Danladi.<\/p>\n

According to Adejobi, the trio had undergone an orderly room trial conducted by the Force Provost Marshal, saying the \u201cthree officers from the SPU Base 1 Kano have been dismissed for the offences of discreditable conduct to wit misuse of firearms, abuse of power, gross indiscipline, and wastage of live ammunition.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was said that the men were attached to a musician in Kano on escort duties.<\/p>\n

But, in the course of their duty on Friday, at Kahutu Village, Katsina State, they repeatedly fired shots from their official firearms into the air.<\/p>\n

The conduct of the officers, it was said, disregarded the possible risk to the crowd at the location, including children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe act was not only criminal and unprofessional but also embarrassing to the Force and the nation at large,\u201d Adejobi stated.<\/p>\n

The NPF has, therefore, warned its officers to always carry out their duties in line with extant laws to avoid sanctions.<\/p>\n
