Met Police officer sacked without notice over social media posts
- Metropolitan Police officer PC Idominik Efeotor has been sacked without notice following an accelerated misconduct hearing.
- He was found to have persistently breached social media regulations between 2024 and 2026 while identifying himself as a serving officer.
- The posted content contained derogatory language about colleagues, accusations of force corruption and racism, and information risking the identity of an anonymous officer.
- Mr Efeotor continued to publish podcast episodes and social media posts despite having his business interest permission revoked and receiving repeated warnings.
- The misconduct panel concluded his actions severely damaged public confidence, resulting in his immediate dismissal and a permanent ban from policing.
