PSC Union Demands IGP's Removal Over Recruitment Dispute
IGP in Hot Seat as PSC Union Calls for Removal
PSC Union Calls for IGP Egbetokun's Removal, Alleges Recruitment Irregularities and Smuggling of 1,000 Names. Union Accuses Police of Attempting to Undermine Recruitment Process, Demands President's Intervention.
Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun is under fire from the Joint Union Congress of the Police Service Commission (PSC) for allegedly fabricating information on the most recent hiring process.
The commission's union and the police have become more tense due to this hiring procedure.
The PSC accused the police of trying to take control of the recruitment process on Saturday, while the police maintained that corruption and other irregularities marred the process.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Adoyi Adoyi, the chairman of the union, stressed that the Inspector General's actions could cause confusion and go against his official responsibilities.
Adoyi also claimed that certain police personnel tried to smuggle more than 1,000 names.
Adoyi stated, “We begin this press conference with a clarion call on the President and Commander in Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, to immediately relieve IGP Kayode Egbetokun of his appointment.
“A public officer who misleads the President and causes confusion in the country may lead to chaos, which is antithetical to his duty as a police officer.
“His behavior is reminiscent of the Biblical Haman, who deceived his principal in an attempt to wipe out an entire nation but was thwarted by divine intervention.
“Therefore, we call on the president to responsibly relieve him of his duties for the following reasons.”
The union's chairman, Adoyi Adoyi, stressed to reporters on Wednesday that the Inspector General's actions could cause confusion and go against his official responsibilities.
He explained, “We have reliable information Indicating that elements within the Police Force tried to smuggle over 1,000 names into the recruitment list. This manipulation was a severe breach of the recruitment process and a calculated attempt to undermine the credibility of the entire exercise.”
Adoyi further claimed that certain police personnel tried to smuggle more than 1,000 names onto the recruitment list.
Additionally, he labeled the accusations made by the Inspector General against the commission as careless, erroneous, and incorrect.
Adoyi went on, “The allegations of fraud and other unwholesome acts levelled against the Police Service Commission and its staff are unfounded, spurious, speculative, and most irresponsible, especially considering how these allegations were made public before official channels for addressing such matters were utilized.”
