The leadership of the Po­lice Service Commission (PSC) has reacted to a story published in the Vanguard newspaper of yesterday, Tuesday, June 13, page 8, captioned “Uneasy calm in Police over Successor to IGP Baba”.

As gathered from a state­ment issued by Ikechukwu Ani, Head, Press and Public Relations of the commission, the story is fictitious and ob­viously misleading as it stat­ed that the Commission’s Chairman, Dr. Solomon Arase, CFR, former Inspector General of Police had grant­ed an interview to Evelyn Usman, a Crime Correspon­dents of the Newspaper.

While dismissing the report to be fabricated, the statement partly reads: “The Correspondent who suppos­edly interviewed some Civil Society Chieftains in respect of the story went further to claim that Dr. Arase ex­pressed similar views on the matter even when he was not contacted at all.

“The story claimed that the PSC Chairman supports the views that any likely waiver by Mr. President to grant tenure extension to the Inspector General of Po­lice would utterly undermine the law, the provisions of the Police Act, 2020(amended) which provides in section 18(8) of the Police Act ” that every police officer shall on recruitment or appointment serve the Nigeria Police Force for a period of 35 years or until he attains the age of 60 years whichever comes first

It explains “That the Chairman is also in support that any such action could trigger avoidable tension within the system especial­ly the Command structure of Police hierarchy, lower morale and disrupt the sys­tematic movement of top of­ficers in line with seniority and rank”.
