The Police Service Commission (PSC) has demoted a
commissioner of police over alleged abuse of office.
The identity of the affected commissioner was not divulged.
The PSC also approved the dismissal of three officers and
the demotion of nine others.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Ikechukwu Ani, PSC
spokesperson, said the three individuals dismissed were “senior officers”.
The PSC said the dismissal was over “cases of misconduct and
abuse of office”.
Ani said the decisions were taken during the 21st plenary
meeting of the commission presided over by Solomon Arase, PSC chairman.
“The commission during the meeting also approved the
compulsory retirement of an assistant commissioner and directed a refund of all
entitlements wrongly paid to him,” the statement reads.
“It approved
posthumous promotion of late Inspector Ifeanyi Oroke to the next rank of ASP 11
for acts of gallantry and reinstated one dismissed Inspector Augustina Oko to
take effect from the date she was dismissed.
“The commission also approved the punishment of severe
reprimand on 16 officers and reprimand for another 18. It directed that letters
of warning should be given to two other officers.”
The commission also approved the appeal for adjustment on
the date of promotion of Woke Iheanyi Kingsley to the rank of assistant
commissioner of police (ACP) and reinstatement of Anaele Samuel Onuoha in
compliance with a court judgment.
