The Police Service Commission (PSC) says it has suspended
the promotion of eight police commissioners to the rank of assistant inspector
general over the snub of the mandatory interview.
The commission also suspended the promotion of 11 deputy
commissioners of police to commissioners.
The PSC took the decision at the end of its reconvened 18th
plenary meeting which was held in Abuja, on Thursday and Friday.
Ikechukwu Ani, PSC spokesperson, in a statement on Sunday,
said the officers refused to honour the invitation by the commission to appear
before it to “ascertain their suitability for the new offices”.
“The commission
suspended the promotion of eight commissioners of police to the rank of assistant
inspectors general and eleven deputy commissioners of police to the next rank
of commissioners due to their failure to appear before it for the mandatory
promotion interview.
“The commission had sent invitations to the officers to
appear before it for the usual interaction to ascertain their suitability and
capability for the new offices.
“The commission expressed surprise on their failure to
honour the invitation especially as the 2023 general elections are just days
away.”
Meanwhile, the commission appointed three deputy inspectors
general of police (DIG) and promoted 1,043 senior police officers to different
ranks.
