A full list of 467 Nigerian police officers who were caught falsifying their age and violating service rules have emerged.
Some well-known names on the list which was obtained by Sahara Reporters include, Simon Lough (SAN) and Benneth Igweh.
According to reports, the affected officers come from different police training courses, including:
15 officers from the 2002 Cadet Inspectors Course
33 officers from the 2000 Cadet Inspectors Course
12 officers from the 1996 Cadet Inspectors Course

34 officers from the 1996 Cadet ASP Course
11 officers from the 1994 Cadet ASP Course
209 officers from a 2003 promotion course in Jos
10 officers from an additional undisclosed list
Some officers implicated in the scandal have already retired quietly.
Retired Officers Demand Police Chief’s Resignation
In response to their forced retirement, some senior officers are now demanding that Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun also step down.
They claim his post-retirement actions are illegal.
Recall that there were past reports on widespread forgery and rule violations among police officers, leading to this mass retirement order.
