Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba
The Police Service Commission (PSC) on Monday refuted reports that it endorsed the elongation of the Inspector General of Police tenure.
Reacting to an online publication, the PSC said a commissioner in the commission was misquoted.
The Inspection General of Police (IGP) Usman Baba has been under pressure over his retirement saga.
“The Honourable Commissioner has since denied making such statement, stressing that he was obviously misquoted.
“According to him, he told the online publication that it was the prerogative of Mr. President to decide.
The Commission, therefore, wishes to state that it has not endorsed any tenure elongation for the current Inspector General of Police. As a matter of fact, the Commission was never contacted on this subject at any time.
“It notes that it will always commit itself to the letters and spirit of the laws of the land and will not at any time support or encourage any attempt to subvert these laws.
“The Commission wishes to appeal to the media to avoid unnecessary sensationalism in an attempt to attract huge readership.
“The Commission will also continue to work to ensure an effective and efficient Nigeria Police rooted in the rules and regulations governing its operations”.
