Nigerian-British police officer Shola Balogun was dismissed from the Metropolitan Police in the UK after being found guilty of assaulting a colleague at a birthday party on April 22, 2022. The incident involved Balogun biting the victim, which led to a court hearing and a panel's decision that his actions undermined public trust in the police. Despite his positive character history, the panel ruled that dismissal without notice was necessary to uphold police standards.
