Police,Recruitment

Former Inspector-General of Police, Mike Okiro, has called on the Police Service Commission, PSC, and the Nigeria Police Force to work in harmony for national security. Recall that the police had alleged irregularities and corruption in the recruitment of Constables by the PSC during the 2022/23 batch into the Nigeria Police Force.

But Okiro in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, said that the fight against insecurity would remain a mirage, unless the commission and the police worked in harmony to policing Nigeria with vigour. According to him, what Nigerians desire now is how the country will exit the ravaging insecurity pervading the land. “I implore both parties to eschew whatever be their perceived bitterness and embrace the fact that their jobs go hand in hand.

Okiro said that the powers of recruitment, discipline and promotion of police personnel other than the I-G, was vested in the PSC. “It is not right for any police personnel to contemplate engaging in any misconduct in the course of performing assumed official duties,“ he said. The former chairman of the PSC urged the commission to avoid over-flogging certain issues in the public domain.
