Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has banned serving officers of the Nigeria Police Force from engaging in unauthorised social media activities, warning that violators risk dismissal, demotion, salary forfeiture, and possible prosecution.

The order which takes immediate effect was contained in an internal circular dated June 22, 2026, and marked “Restricted – For Official Use Only.”

According to the directive, the Force has observed a growing trend of officers posting videos, conducting live sessions, and creating social media content while in uniform or in situations clearly linking them to the Nigeria Police Force.

The directive further prohibits the release of classified or sensitive information related to police operations, deployments, personnel records and operational strategies.

In a major development, the IGP also placed responsibility on senior officers for violations committed by subordinates stating, stating that any supervising officer found negligent in detecting or reporting violations may also face disciplinary action.

BREAKING: KEIR STARMER RESIGNS AS UK PRIME MINISTER

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, has officially announced his resignation from office.

Starmer announced his resignation on Monday, 22nd June, less than two years after he assumed office.

“Every decision I have taken has been about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party,” Starmer said in an emotional speech outside 10 Downing Street.

Starmer, who took office in July 2024, has been clinging to power for months after a tenure littered with missteps, policy U-turns, scandals, and ministerial resignations.

Some Labour MPs believe Burnham’s victory shows he is better positioned to confront Reform UK and its leader, Nigel Farage, ahead of the next general election.
