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.
