The Police Service Commission (PSC) on Saturday debunked publication in a national daily newspaper of today (Saturday edition) which reported that the commission will dismiss Police officers who fail to return to work.
The PSC in a statement signed by it’s Head of Media, Mr. Ikechukwu Ani, denied ever issuing such sweeping statement.
However, he said the commission 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.
“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.
The Commission will continue to do its best to ensure the police are motivated to do its job.
“The Commission being the employers of the Police is pained that Police men were killed and stations set ablaze throughout the country.” He said.
He added that the Commission is still mourning the deaths of it’s gallant officers who were killed in the crisis.
