Members of Courses 18, 19, 20 Policemen forced out of office have dragged the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Police Service Commission, PSC, and Force Secretary before the National Industrial Court demanding enforcement of its earlier unappealed decision.

The suit filed by Edwin Okoro, has ACP Chinedu Emengaha and seven others as claimants, with the PSC, IGP and Force Secretary, Nigeria Police as 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendants.

In the suit, the claimants are seeking the determination of the following questions:

“Whether taking into consideration, the judgments of the National Industrial Court, Abuja, delivered by Justice O. Oyewunmi in suit Nos. NICN/Abj./345/2019-ACP Chinedu Emengaha & Ors Vs PSC & 2 Ors, and NICN/Abj./353/2019 CSP Sunday Okuguni & Ors Vs PSC & 2 Ors, resolving the issue of date of appointment of Cadet Officers (Force entrants) as the dates of their first appointment, and the said judgments having been implemented by the defendants since July 29, 2021, the defendants are not estopped from reopening the issue of date of first appointment?

“Take notice that upon the determination of the above stated question, the claimants shall pray the court for the following reliefs:

“A declaration that the date of first appointment into service of the claimants as contained in their respective appointment letters are not subject to a review by the defendants.
