PSC Dismisses 19 Senior Police Officers, Reduces Ranks of 19 Others
The Police Service Commission (PSC) has dismissed 19 senior police officers and demoted another 19 following disciplinary actions taken during its recent plenary meeting in Abuja.
Among those dismissed are ten assistant superintendents, six deputy superintendents, two chief superintendents, and one superintendent.
The demotions include one assistant commissioner of police, one chief superintendent, two superintendents, two deputy superintendents, and 13 assistant superintendents.
Two Assistant Inspectors General of Police were also disciplined—one received a reprimand for failing to carry out lawful instructions, while the other was issued a warning for negligence.
PSC spokesperson Ikechukwu Ani confirmed that several of the dismissed officers face prosecution by the Legal Unit of the Nigeria Police Force. The Commission also reviewed 23 appeals and petitions, nine legal matters, and deliberated on 110 pending disciplinary cases during the session.
PSC Chairman DIG Hashimu Argungu (retd.) stressed the need for expedited handling of police disciplinary cases to ensure fairness and accountability.
He warned officers against meddling in civil matters such as land disputes and marital issues, emphasizing that such cases should be handled by the courts, while the police focus on criminal matters and threats to life.
This decisive action reflects the Commission’s commitment to maintaining professionalism and accountability within the Nigeria Police Force.
President Bola Tinubu speaks on CNG in Nigeria and shares how the benefits from it aren’t even helping the government but are going into the pockets of truck owners.
While speaking on his promise to help the refinery and the removal of the fuel subsidy to better the country, he spoke on CNG:
“Equally, the introduction of compressed natural gas — well, I will appeal to you: we will do more and encourage you, but ask your drivers to let the benefits trickle down to commuters too, because whatever benefit is coming from CNG is going into the pockets of truck owners. It’s not spreading as fast as I would like, but it should spread.
“The refineries you mentioned are going to come back to work. We’re just building a very firm reset and structural reworking of the economics of it.”
The Nigerian youth leaders of Ogun State call on the government for their support to advance youth development in the state.
For International Youth Day, Ogun State held a programme with Nigerian youth leaders, and it was shared.
“Ogun State is at a trajectory moment of transition and continuity, and it’s a political season. We are trying to ensure that youth inclusion is key in the next administration’s agenda.”
“A dedicated ministry will help coordinate opportunities for our young people and ensure that their voices are properly channelled.”
According to reports, fuel stations are reducing their prices a bit. This has become a general thing around Nigeria after the spike due to the removal of subsidy.
The prices are dropping to ₦1,275 and ₦1,299, going lower than ₦1,300 compared to what it was before.
