The Police Service Commission has stated that it did not any time say Police men who refused to get back to work will be dismissed.


Its comment followed a publication in the newspaper of Saturday October 31 2020 reporting that the Police Service Commission will dismiss Police officers who fail to return to work.


The Commission, according to its Head, Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani had condemned the killing of Police officers on legitimate duties and had warned that any attempt to make the country lawless will be an illwind that will blow no body any good.


He says the Commission can only plead with the officers to in the spirit of nationalism return to work while Government works out enough protective programmes for them.


According to him, the Commission will continue to do its best to ensure the police are motivated to do its job.


Ani says the Commission being the employers of the Police is pained that Policemen were killed and stations set ablaze throughout the country.


In his word, it will be very insensitive at this point for anyone to say that the Commission will dismiss any policeman who didn’t return to work.


He says the Commission is even at present mourning the deaths of it’s gallant officers who were killed in the crisis.


The Commission is Headed and Chaired by a retired Inspector-General of Police, IGP Musiliu Smith
