The
Police Service Commission (PSC), on Wednesday, confirmed the retirement letter
of Sen. Isah Misau, Chairman Senate Committee on Navy, to be authentic.
The
Nigeria Police Force on Aug. 27 declared Misau a deserter and accused him of
carrying a forged retirement letter.
Misau
was invited by the commission to appear before its Special Panel investigating
the genuineness or otherwise of the two letters of retirement emanating from
the commission.
Misau
in series of interviews with newsmen accused the Inspector General of Police of
taking bribe to post police officers as well as diverting money paid by private
companies for police duties.
The
Head, Press and Public Relations of the commission, Ikechukwu Ani, told NAN in
Abuja, that the committee confirmed that the letter was issued by the
commission.
He
said that Misau who did not appear before the committee, did not give any
reason for his absence.
Ani
said that the retirement letter with ref: No PSC 1034 Vol.8/244, was issued on
March 4, 2014 but took effect from Dec. 1, 2010.
He
said that Misau’s retirement followed due process and based on recommendation
from the Force Headquarters.
