Fauzziyah Isiak, a female officer with the Lagos Police Command has now been detained because, according to authorities, she absconded from duty. This morning, Isiak took to her Twitter account saying that she was detained for resigning from the Force. According to her, she tendered her resignation letter in 2022 on several occasions but it remained unapproved since then.
However, the spokesman of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, has said that Fauzziyah was detained because she absconded from duty for over a month without permission or leave which was against the discipline. He wrote on Twitter, “Till you get the discharge certificate, you remain a serving member of the Force, bound by all extant rules and regulation of service #PoliceNG, absence from duty for twenty-one days without leave or permission automatically results in your being declared a deserter. Every serving member knows this.
“Corporal Fauzziyah Isiak, who serves in the office of the Imam of the Command, without leave, permission or discharge from service, absconded from duty for over a month, in flagrant disregard for the conditions of service she willingly signed to.
“For this offence against discipline, she was detained yesterday for the commencement of her orderly room trial today. Secondly, she has maliciously brought the name of the Force into disrepute by distorting/misrepresenting facts - a discreditable conduct that amounts to another disciplinary offence.”
