The Ondo State Police Command has sanctioned eight officers for misconduct in the last two months.
The State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Adebowale Lawal, disclosed this to journalists on Friday in Akure.
He said the command was adhering strictly to the professional ethics and norms of the Nigeria Police.
The CP explained that the sanction followed complaints received from members of the public during the period.
He said: “We have the monitoring units. We have the provost. We have the complaint response unit (CRU).
“So, once we get complaints about any officer, that person faces it. Some have been detained, while some have been queried. It depends on your rank or if you face the room trial.

“As a matter of fact, we talk about it daily: corruption, extortion, and illegal roadblocks. We warn our men to desist from such. If you are caught, you will face the music.
“So far, so good, about eight officers of the command have been sanctioned in the last two months.”
Lawal, who commended the people of the state for the command’s success in the last two months, asked the public to make their complaints known to divisional police officers, police area commanders, or call directly to him.
He urged members of the public to continue to feed the command with appropriate information for the safety and protection of lives and property.
