The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has sacked an unmarried female corporal identified as Olajide Omolola for getting pregnant in Ekiti.

According to The PUNCH, the NPF announced her dismissal in a wireless message with reference number CJ:4161/EKS/IY/Vol.2/236, DTO:181330/01/2021 that originated from the Department of Finance and Administration in Ado Ekiti.

In the message, the Chief Financial Officer in Ekiti was asked to relay the information of her dismissal to the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS) to ensure that her salary was stopped.

‌Part of the old law which has been repealed also made it compulsory for policewomen to seek the permission of their superiors before getting married.
