The Police
Service Commission (PSC) has approved the dismissal of one Assistant
Superintendent of Police (ASP) and the demotion of two other officers over
various established cases of misconduct.
The officers
who had their ranks reduced were a Superintendent of Police (SP) and an
Assistant Superintendent (ASP).
This is
contained in a statement signed by Mr Ikechukwu Ani, Head, Press and Public
Relations of the commission, and issued to newsmen on Friday in Abuja.
It said the
commission rejected 23 appeals from some dismissed Policemen for reinstatement
and restoration of ranks.
The
statement said the decisions were taken at the 15th Plenary Meeting of the
commission presided by its Chairman, Mr Mike Okiro.
However, it
said the commission had approved the reinstatement of 10 other Police Officers,
exonerated three and committed the dismissal of three others to retirement.
The
statement said one serving DSP and ASP received the punishments of severe
reprimand, while an Assistant Commissioner, two DSPs and an ASP are to be
issued letters of reprimand.
Besides, it
said an SP will receive letter of warning while an ASP was exonerated.
Based on
Court judgements, the statement said appeals from ex-Police Officers for
reinstatement was approved by the commission which also endorsed the retirement
of eight and rejected the appeals of 15 others.
It said the
commission's decisions have since been communicated to the Inspector General of
Police, Mr Solomon Arase, for implementation.
