The Police Service Commission has declared that the Chairman, Senate Committee on Navy, Senator Isah Misau, dully resigned from the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, had accused the Senator of being a deserter adding that his retirement letter from the Force was forged after the Senator accused the IGP of collecting bribes from some officers before they were promoted
The Police Service Commission on Wednesday however laid the controversy to rest on Wednesday saying that the Senator’s retirement from the Force followed due process adding that the Commission issued the letter to the Senator.
Although, the Senator was expected to appear on Wednesday by 11am before the panel set up by the Commission to confirm the authenticity of his letter, he however failed to show up.
The Commission explained that the Panel headed by Justice Olufunlola Adekeye went ahead with the meeting and found out that his retirement letter was authentic.
“The Senator did not honour the invitation but the panel still went ahead to sit,” the Commission’s Spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani said.
“At the meeting, the Panel made some inquiry and they confirmed that the Commission issued the letter and that it was based on recommendation for retirement from the Force Headquarters.
“The Police normally recommends people to us for retirement, so the recommendation came to the Commisssion and Misau’s name was included.
“We just confirmed that the retirement followed due process. The letter was dated 5th March, 2014 to take effect from the 1st of December 2010.
“The Commission has gone through their document and confirmed that we issued the letter with reference number;PSC/1034/V8/244.
“What are simply saying is that we gave him the letter of retirement.”
