President Muhammadu has removed former Inspector General of Police, Mike Okiro as the Chairman of Police Service Commission.

Okiro was replaced with another former Inspector-General of Police, Musiliu Smith.

In a letter sent to the Nigerian Senate by the President Buhari, the President sought for the house to confirm Smith.

The President also announced the appointment of five other people as member of the PSC.

Okiro was appointed as head of PSC by former President, Goodluck Jonathan and has been in office since 2013.

Okiro has been in the news for many recruitments, financial and promotion scandals during his stint as head of PSC.

Ok

Politics everywhere. . . Same old same old set of thieves recycled

The idea of having a retired police officer in charge of Police Service Commission was a noble idea but we have seen how that is equally devastating. These corrupt guys, after going through the institutionalized corruption in police, are recalled to head the only agency that can checkmate corruption in the police. It becomes corruption galore

Bring in a technocrat to run the Police Commission; more like an administrator. Stop hiring retired 'and corrupt' police men to head the police commission!

Its not rocket science really, unless of course, it is included in the menu of partisan politics and used to settle some percenters as usual.

Northnernazation contiunes.

Op these positions have term limits

Musiliu smith is a Yoruba from Lagos, and an IG of police when Okiro was yet to even become Police Commissioner of Lagos.


What the news will deliberately not tell us, is if Okiro's tenure had already legally expired and he was only being duly replaced as mandatory.

Just for your information
Musiliu Smith is from LAGOS
and OKiro's tenure has expired going by the constitution that gave him Fives years in office
