EndSARS: Police Commission Laments Killing of Officers, Says it will not force Policemen to Return to Duty
The attention of the Police Service Commission had been drawn to a publication in the Punch newspaper of Saturday October 31 2020 reporting that the Police Service Commission will dismiss Police officers who fail to return to work.
The Police Service Commission wishes to state that it did not any time say Police men who refused to get back to work will be dismissed.
The Commission had condemned the killing of Police officers on legitimate duties and had warned that any attempt to make the country lawless will be an illwind that will blow no body any good.

The Commission will continue to do its best to ensure the police are motivated to do its job.
The Commission being the employers of the Police is pained that Police men were killed and stations set ablaze throughout the country.
It will be very insensitive at this point for anyone to say that the Commission will dismiss any police man who didn’t return to work.
The Commission is even at present mourning the deaths of it’s gallant officers who were killed in the crisis.
