A compulsorily retired Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police, Mr Moses Ambakina Jitoboh has prayed the National Industrial Court (NIC), sitting in Abuja, to declare his retirement by the Police Service Commission (PSC), before his mandatory 60 years retirement age or 35 years in service as wrongful, unconstitutional and unlawful.

Jitoboh, in his statement of claims filed before the court, further described his purported compulsory retirement as a flagrant violation of Rule 020810 of the Public Service Rules and Section 18 ( of the Nigeria Police Act, 2020,respectively.

The PSC, it will be recalled, had purportedly retired DIG Jitoboh and three others on the ground of upholding the Police tradition of retiring, when a junior Police officer is promoted over his senior to avoid “status reversal”.

The retired DIG of Police is also praying for an order of the court directing the PSC to pay the sum of N500,000,000.00(Five Hundred Million Naira) only as general damages for the unwarranted embarrassment caused by the purported termination of his employment as he had been portrayed to be a disloyal officer.

He is also asking for another sum of N50, 000, 000.00 (Fifty Million Naira) only as the cost of prosecuting this action.

Jitoboh, in his statement of claims, maintained that he was and remains an officer of the Nigeria Police Force until the 10th day of June, 2029 when he would have attained 35 years in service and duly retire and that he is therefore entitled to his salaries, emoluments and all other paraphernalia of office due to him.

The compulsorily retired DIG is seeking the declaration of the National Industrial Court that pursuant to Section 4 (3) of the Police Service Commission Act, 2001 the defendant (PSC) has no valid Board to take any decision whatsoever purporting to retire or promote any Police Officer as the PSC Board tenure elapsed in July of 2023.

Fight for your right sir,why didn't the employee choose from the most senior ranks, when will this favoritism end ?

lol wan finish me here.
Lets assume he wins this case, which police authority will pay him?
For this country wey dem no dey obey court order.

This is a bit complicated and funny.


There can only be 8 D.I.G's in Nigeria.

Keeping him in service without promotion to I.G means he will serve a total of 8 years as D.I.G before retiring in 2029.

To maintain a clear chain of command, he must be retired before any of his fellow D.I.G's who he is senior to are promoted to I.G.

He knows this as the way of the Military and Paramilitary, but he wants to use loopholes in the police service law to claim damages and get back into service based on technicalities.

Instead of 4 yrs as AIG, he spent just 2 yrs before he became DIG.

If those DIGs were not fired, how would he have been promoted to their position.

He forgot that AIG and above is political.

Before the immediate past IG got there, 6 DIGs, and 11 AIGs were retired compulsorily.

Very well said.

See as this crook just dey pronounce figures anyhow

The law enforcement agencies are law breakers and some people wonder why this nation is lawless 🤦🏿

I think there should be law to stop president of Nigeria from bypassing the senior officer to appoint junior officer as IG.

Fight it out till the very end.

Iron sharpening iron, ironically.
