Story summary

PC Idominik Efeotor, a police constable with the Metropolitan Police's Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, has been sacked after he called his senior colleagues "wastemen" on social media. The dismissal came following an accelerated misconduct hearing this week, where it was revealed that Efeotor published several podcast episodes and shared TikTok videos between 2024 and 2026 while identifying himself as a serving officer. During these posts, he used offensive language to discuss alleged "corruption" and "racism" within the force, describing a senior colleague in derogatory terms. Additionally, Efeotor published material that could have led to the identification of an anonymous officer, according to Scotland Yard, further violating internal policies on social media conduct for law enforcement personnel.
