PSC sacks four Senior Police officers, sanctions 31 others over alleged misconduct
The Police Service Commission (PSC) has dismissed four senior police officers and sanctioned 31 others over various disciplinary offences.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, PSC spokesperson Torty Njoku Kalu said the affected officers were found guilty of gross misconduct, unprofessional conduct, and behaviour considered unbecoming of public officers.
According to Kalu, the disciplinary actions were approved during the commission’s plenary meeting held in Abuja after the cases were reviewed.
The PSC spokesperson said 10 police officers received reduction in rank, two were compulsorily retired, three received warning letters, while seven were exonerated.
“In addition to the dismissals, the commission approved a range of disciplinary actions which affected multiple officers,” the PSC spokesperson said.
“Ten senior officers received reductions in rank: three Superintendents of Police were reduced to Deputy Superintendents of Police, two Deputy Superintendents of Police to Assistant Superintendents of Police, and five Assistant Superintendents of Police to Inspectors. Two officers were also compulsorily retired in the public interest.
“Other sanctions included severe reprimands issued to ten officers, reprimands to five officers, warning letters to three officers, and a letter of advice to one officer. In addition, seven officers were exonerated and cleared of wrongdoing.”
Speaking on the development, Hashimu Salihu Argungu, PSC chairman, said the commission will not tolerate indiscipline within the rank and file.
Argungu said the commission will continue to uphold discipline in the force and ensure that any form of misconduct carries the appropriate disciplinary actions.
