The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the dismissal of four senior police officers over gross misconduct, unprofessional conduct and acts unbecoming of public officers.
The commission also approved the demotion of 10 senior officers, the compulsory retirement of two others "in the public interest," and disciplinary sanctions against 31 more officers, as part of efforts to strengthen discipline within the Nigeria Police Force.
The PSC disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday by its Head of Protocol and Public Relations, Torty Njoku Kalu, following its plenary meeting at the commission's corporate headquarters in Abuja.
