The Police Service Commission (PSC) has has directed four deputy inspectors-general (DIGs) of police to proceed on compulsory retirement to avoid clashes of seniority in the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

The PSC said this was in exercise of its statutory powers, pursuant to the Third Schedule, Part 1 M, para A&B of the 1999 Constitution, reinforced with Section 6 of the Commissions (Establisment) Act 2001, para a, c, d, e, &f.

The affected DIGs are Dan-Mallam Mohammed, Moses Ambakina Jitiboh, Hafiz Mohammed Inuwa and Adeleke Adeyinka Bode.

PSC spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, said “in the wake of the appointment of the acting inspector-general of police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun on the 19th of June, 2023 by Mr. President, the commission had expected in consonance with the revered tradition of discipline and regimented culture of the Nigeria Police Force that those DIGS who were seniors in rank prior to his elevation will voluntarily apply for retirement or elect to leave the Force.

“The commission, having waited for ample time with no such application from any of them, took the decision to compulsorily retire them in order to uphold discipline which is the bedrock of the Force, and to discourage status reversal which is inherently inimical to the exercise of authority by the inspector general.

“Accordingly the former DIGs have been mandated to Immediately proceed on compulsory retirement with effect from Friday, 25th August, 2023.The commission appreciates their immense contributions and efforts towards peace and security of our country and also wishes them well in their future endeavours in retirement.”

Meanwhile, the PSC has also approved the appointment of four Assistant Inspectors-general of Police to the rank of Deputy-inspectors General of Police which would be subject to ratification by the board of the commission to replace the retired DIGs.

Ani further said the newly appointed DIGs, who are without pending disciplinary matters and/or without any serious medical conditions and health impairments were drawn from the same respective geo-political regions of the retired ones.

They are DIGs Ibrahim Sani Ka’oje; Daniel Sokari-Pedro, Ayuba Ekpeji, and Usman Nagogo.
