The Police Service Commission (PSC) has dismissed three senior police officers due to their involvement in misconduct and abuse of office.
The PSC spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
Ani said that, the decision was reached during the 21st plenary of the commission, which was chaired by Justice Clara Ogunbiyi on behalf of PSC Chairman Solomon Arase.
Speaking further, she said that, apart from the dismissal of the aforementioned officers, nine others officers have been demoted in rank, including a Commissioner of Police.
“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 had earlier approved the appeal for adjustment on the date of promotion to the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police of ACP Wole Iheanyi Kingsley and reinstatement of CSP Anaele Samuel Onuoha in compliance with a court judgment.
“During the plenary meeting, the PSC also made the decision to retire an Assistant Commissioner, and instructed the reimbursement of all wrongfully paid entitlements to the concerned individual.”
The late Inspector Ifeanyi Oroke has been posthumously promoted to the next rank of ASP II in recognition of acts of gallantry.
In addition, one dismissed Inspector, Augustina Oko, has been reinstated with retroactive effect from the date of her dismissal.
However the commission is scheduled to reconvene on Tuesday, July 11 for its 21st plenary meeting.
