Omolola Olajide, an unmarried police corporal attached to Iye-Ekiti station, Ekiti State Police Command was sacked on January 26, 2021, for getting pregnant. The nation was enraged as the same policy is not applicable to male police officers.
The National Industrial Court has struck down a police regulation which provides for the sacking of an unmarried policewoman who gets pregnant. Known as ‘Regulation 127 of the Nigeria Police Regulation made pursuant to the Police Establishment Act 2020,’ Justice D. K. Damulak on Wednesday held that it is illegal and discriminatory. Miss Omolola Olajide of the Ekiti Police Command was dismissed on January 26, 2021 by Mohammed Adamu, former Inspector-General of Police, for getting pregnant barely a year after graduating from the police academy while being single.
