BREAKING! POLICE SACK 121 OFFICERS WHO FLED AFTER BEING DEPLOYED TO FIGHT BOKO HARAM

The police have dismissed 121 of at least 167 police officers who absconded after being deployed to fight insurgents last week,Premium Times reports.

The 121 officers of the police rank-and-file were accused of committing mutiny and desertion, prompting Inspector-General Ibrahim Idris to order their dismissal with immediate effect.

A directive has gone out for several police units where the dismissed officers were attached to immediately retrieve all police equipment in their possession and remove them from payrolls, according to a December 26 signal.

The 167 police officers were amongst the 2,000 sent on a counter-insurgency training at the Nigerian Army Special Forces Training School in Buni Yadi, Yobe State.
