PSC Reinstates 22 Police Officers, Recommends Promotions

The Police Service Commission has lifted the suspension of Mohammed Iya Musa, a Superintendent of Police serving in the Yobe State Police Command and who was demobilized from the Special Protection Unit, Base 2, Lagos. The Commission also approved the reinstatement of 21 other Officers and directed the promotion of some of the Officers and payment of salary arrears of others.

These decisions were taking at the 12th Plenary Meeting of the Commission held in Abuja on the 6th and 7th (Tuesday and Wednesday) of July, 2021 and which was presided over by Commission Chairman, Musiliu Smith, a retired Inspector General of Police.

SP Musa who was on suspension was recalled by the Commission and awarded a punishment of severe reprimand. He was facing charges of disobedience to constituted authority, absence from duty, divided loyalty, refusal to accept posting, discourteous behaviour to public and act unbecoming of a public Officer.

The Officer in his representation had stated that he did not indulge in the allegations levelled against him and denied same while pleading for exculpation. He however recalled his encounter with the aides of a former IGP and his detention at the Maitama Police Station without any known offence. The Commission was convinced after going through his representation that he was not guilty as charged and recalled him to work.

The Commission also approved the reinstatement of Adamu Damji Abare, an ex Chief Superintendent of Police on the rank of Superintendent”; Edwin Ochima, ex Deputy Superintendent of Police to DSP and directed the payment of his salary arrears from 01/08/2015; Dauda Bot Lamba, ex Superintendent, returned to the rank of SP but with a punishment of reprimand.
