Police Retirement: PSC Invites Sen Misau for Questioning

The trouble of the Chair­man, Senate Commit­tee on Navy, Senator Isah Hamma Misau, seems to be increasing by the day, the Authority reports.

This is even as the Police Service Commission (PSC), has set up a special panel and has subsequently invited the Senator to appear before it to answer some questions on the two letters he displayed to journalists over his retirement from Nigeria Police Force.

It would be recalled that the Nigeria Police Force and Senator Misau have, since the past few weeks, been exchang­ing allegations and counter allegations over alleged col­lection of bribe by the Police Force for special promotions.

In a statement by the Spokesman of the PSC, Ike­chukwu Ani, Senator Misau is to appear before the Commis­sion on Wednesday, September 6, 2017 at 11.00am.

The PSC, in a letter signed by the Chairman of the Spe­cial Panel, Hon. Justice O. Ade­keye, a retired Justice of the Supreme Court, titled, 'Re: Retirement from the Nigeria Police Force of AP 57300 DSP Mohammed Isah Hamma - In­vitation to Appear before Po­lice Service Commission Pan­el' stated that the immediate issue for investigation is the genuineness or otherwise of the two letters of retirement supposed to have emanated from the PSC in connection with this retirement."

The PSC disclosed that it received correspondence from the Nigeria Police Force's Spe­cial Investigation Panel (SIP) dated August 28, 2017, relat­ing to the Senator's retirement from the Nigeria Police Force.

"The Police Service Com­mission, the only organ sad­dled with the statutory re­sponsibility of issuing letters of retirement to all Police of­ficers, except the IGP, has a vi­tal role to play in determining the authenticity of this letter", the letter said.

Senator Misau, according to the statement, is invited to appear before the panel with the original copy of his letter of retirement for authentication.
