Metropolitan Police officer dismissed for repeated social-media rule breaches

Metropolitan Police officials announced the immediate dismissal of Constable Idominik Efeotor, who worked in the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, after an accelerated misconduct hearing. The panel reviewed posts he made between 2024 and 2026, including a TikTok clip in which he called a senior colleague a "wasteman" and other recordings accusing the force of widespread discrimination and corruption. The force said his content contained offensive, insulting and derogatory language about police staff and risked revealing the identity of an officer under an anonymity direction.

Although he initially declared his podcast as a business interest, permission was later revoked, yet he persisted in publishing episodes despite repeated warnings. Commander Adam Slonecki said the conduct undermined public confidence and harmed both the targeted colleague and other officers, leading to a ban from policing as well as the dismissal. The Met emphasized that such behaviour is incompatible with the values expected of its personnel.
