FCT Police Commissioner redeploys Ushafa DPO over ‘unprofessional conduct’

The Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), CP Miller G. Dantawaye, has ordered the immediate redeployment of the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Ushafa Division, back to the State Headquarters.

This was made known in a statement released on the official X handle of the Nigeria Police Force, following the circulation of a video on the platform showing the DPO slapping a young man on Wednesday, October 22, 2025.

The Commissioner of Police, who condemned the officer’s actions, described them as unprofessional and contrary to the values of discipline, civility, and integrity expected of officers of the Nigeria Police Force. He emphasised that such behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated under his leadership.

“While administrative disciplinary steps are being taken, CP Dantawaye reminds all DPOs and their subordinates that they must remain professional, courteous, and law-abiding in the discharge of their duties. He warns that any act of misconduct or abuse of power will attract severe sanctions.

“Consequently, the officer has been redeployed, and an investigation into the incident is underway,” the statement reads.

The Commissioner also urged members of the public to remain respectful and law-abiding in their interactions with police officers, stressing that mutual respect and cooperation are key to effective community policing and public safety.

Residents of the FCT are encouraged to report any suspicious activity or persons to the Command through its emergency contact numbers.
