The chairman of the Police Service Commission, PSC, Solomon Arase, has dragged three staff of the International Centre for Investigative Reporting to court for defamation of character. Ikechukwu Ani, PSC Head of Press and Public Relations, said in a statement on Friday, that the report was a calculated attempt to bring ridicule to Arase.

According to the statement: 'The attention of the Chairman of the Police Service Commission , Dr. Solomon Arase , CFR, retired Inspector General of Police, has been drawn to reports in the media that the Nigeria Police Force has invited one Mr. Nurudeen Akewushola, a staff of the International Centre for Investigative Reporting , over his published defamatory reports against the person of the PSC Chairman.

The statement further said: 'In the letters, the solicitors complained of the words written about and concerning Dr Arase as being without justification and devoid of truth, as the words were calculated to bring him to contempt, ridicule and odium.' It said the solicitors demanded, inter alia, immediate retraction of the said defamatory publication within a timeline, failure of which the Arase would seek redress in court.
