The Police Service Commission (PSC) will today screen 18 Assistant Inspectors-General of Police among whom six will be appointed as Deputy Inspectors-General of Police.
Besides, the commission has received the report of the Police Disciplinary Committee on Commissioner of Police Zakari Biu and five others who were tried in connection with the escape of Boko Haram suspect Kabiru Sokoto. Sokoto has since been rearrested.
Biu and others will know their fate tomorrow when a full session of the commission sits.
The Appointment and Promotion Sub-committee will meet in Abuja today to select new DIGs for the Police.
The AIGs to be screened by the Police Service Commission and their retirement dates are: Suleiman D. Fakai (1/1/2019); Johnson Uzu-Egbunam (30/12/12); Mohammed H. Zarewa (15/3/2015); Ibrahim Paiko Mach i(1/3/2012); Abubakar Mohammed; Ibrahim Mohammed (1/3/2012); Christopher Ola (16/7/2015); Saidu Daya (5/2/2013); Bukar Maina (5/5/2013); Danlami Yar’Adua (5/6/2013); Atiku Yusuf (8/12/2017); Mohammed Abass (1/12/ 2016); Aloysius Okorie (14/2/2012); Shehu Babalola (8/7/ 2015); Ephraim Amakulor (17/5/2012); Madueke Dax (10/5/2014); Mu’azu Idris (20/8/2013); and Charles A. Cole(12/5/2014).
A source in the commission, who spoke in confidence, said merit, past service records, level of education and geopolitical consideration will determine the six that will be selected.
The source said the choice of new DIGs will be based on the existing mandate given to the new IGP to clean the system and fight crime to a standstill.
Although we are aware that the appointments should reflect the six geopolitical zones, we will not compromise merit.”
Responding to a question, the source added: “The report of the appointment committee will also be presented to the full session of the PSC tomorrow.
“These AIGs do not need to appear physically before the commission for screening. We will only go through their files and achievements right from their first day of recruitment. Those with bad records may lose out.
The source added: “I think those due for retirement in the next few months may not be considered for appointment as DIGs.”
The Commission has received the report of the Force Disciplinary Committee on the trial of Biu and five others.
A source said: “We have received the report; that is why we are meeting on Wednesday. We will make a pronouncement after our session.
“It is either they are guilty or not. Where they are guilty, we will take appropriate disciplinary measures.”
Section 30 of Part 1 of the Third Schedule to the 1999 Constitution says: “The Police Service Commission shall have power to (a) appoint persons to offices (other than the Office of the Inspector-General of Police) in the Nigeria Police Force; and (b) dismiss and exercise disciplinary control over persons holding any office referred to in sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph.
