The Police Service Commission (PSC) stated it has no constitutional powers over the appointment or removal of the Inspector-General of Police (I-G).
Its Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, in statement yesterday made the clarification after the commission directed the immediate retirement of all police officers who had served for 35 years or reached 60 years of age.
The statement adds that the law is clear about the commission’s mandate, which does not extend to the Police IG, who is appointed by the President with advice from the Police Council.
Ani stated that the commission, at its 1st Extraordinary Meeting of the 6th Management Board on Friday, only considered the regularisation of the appointment date for Cadet ASPs and Inspector Force Entrants.
