A shocking twist in Taraba State has exposed the embarrassing downfall of a serving police constable whose career came to an abrupt end, not in a blaze of glory but in the quiet theft of a goat.
In what many have called a disgrace to the uniform, Police Constable Usman Mohammed, serving at the Mutum Biyu Division under the Taraba Police Command, was officially dismissed from the Nigeria Police Force on August 15, 2025, after being caught stealing a goat.
The incident, bizarre as it sounds, was not a social media rumor or an internal cover-up, it was handled through formal disciplinary procedures, and the result was decisive: immediate dismissal.
8 Key discoveries from the incident:
1. The theft happened on duty: PC Usman Mohammed reportedly committed the theft while still on active duty, raising serious concerns about discipline and integrity within the force.
2. The target was a goat: The stolen item wasn’t money, drugs or weapons but adomesticated goat, which he allegedly stole for personal use.
3. He was caught red-handed: Usman Mohammed was caught in the act by community members, not fellow officers. He was apprehended and the situation escalated quickly.
4. Evidence was submitted: Photographic and eyewitness evidence played a role in confirming his guilt. Locals reportedly documented the incident before handing him over to police authorities.
5. Disciplinary action followed immediately: Following due process under Regulation 370 of the Police Act (2010, as amended), a disciplinary panel found him guilty of gross misconduct.
6. CP ordered immediate dismissal: The Commissioner of Police in Jalingo sent an official signal ordering his dismissal. The directive was firm and swift.
7. All Police items retrieved: The constable’s uniform, ID card and any police-issued equipment were collected immediately upon dismissal. His access to official systems and pay was revoked.
8. His service record updated with dismissal status: To close the chapter, his official police file was marked with dismissal status, which disqualifies him from any future government security appointments.
This scandal, while seemingly minor compared to more serious police misconduct, struck a nerve with the public because of its symbolism, a law enforcement officer turning thief, even for something as small as a goat, represents a serious breach of trust. It also raises broader concerns about the vetting, discipline, and welfare of officers in low-income divisions.
