The commission also considered 23 appeals and petitions and nine legal matters and court judgements.

Reacting to this, Chairman of the Commission, DIG Hashimu Argungu (retd) said the commission will henceforth consider police disciplinary matters with dispatch so as to free police officers who are not found wanting to continue with their career progression and those found culpable to serve their punishments.

He warned that the commission will not spare police officers, who indulge in civil matters like land, marital and rent related disputes.

DIG Argungu stressed that the courts should be allowed to do their duties while the Police should pay more attention to criminal matters and threats to life.
