    Police Appeal Judgement In Favour Of Retired Police Officers Against IGP

    The Nigeria Police Force, NPF, says the call for the sack and imprisonment of the Inspector-General of Police by some retired officers are baseless, malicious, and mischievous as it is inconsistent with the provisions of the Public Service Rules on the basis for retirement from public service.

    This is as the Spokesperson for the NPF, CSP. Olumuyiwa Adejobi said the police has filed an appeal against the judgement delivered in favour of the retired police officers.

    CSP. Adejobi said, “The said judgment, which has been appealed in suit number: NICN/AB/21M/2023 filed by the Nigeria Police legal team on Wednesday 8th February, 2023, and is currently in court awaiting a hearing and subsequent judgment on the appeal, is inconsistent with the provisions of the Public Service Rules on the basis for retirement from public service.”

    He noted further that the said retired police officers joined the Nigeria Police Force as recruit constables in 1984 and 1986 respectively.

    He explains, “Having served for ten years and over, they were privileged to be admitted as Force Entrants into Cadet Inspector Courses 33, 34, and 35 of the Nigeria Police Academy in 1994, 1996, and 2000 respectively. It is pertinent to note that “Force Entrant” is a scheme by the Nigeria Police Force where deserving officers with requisite educational records are upgraded to a higher cadre after a brief training period at the Police Academy or at any approved Police College, and as such, not a fresh appointment.

    “Essentially, this implies that the service duration of such officers continues counting and does not automatically restart. Therefore, according to the Public Service Rules, the retired officers, having served in the public service and received salaries as required by law, cannot insist on remaining in service beyond the legally permitted period. Consequently, the purported call for their reinstatement is strange to the law and unrealistic, the Force Public Relations Officer said.

    “It is imperative to emphatically state that the Nigeria Police Force has filed a motion for a stay of execution while the appeal is slated for hearing at the Court’s convenience. The Nigeria Police hereby urges members of the public to discountenance publications that were widely circulated in the news, calling for the sack of the IGP on the above grounds as they are baseless, malicious, and mischievous.

    “The Nigeria Police assures the public of its continued commitment to entrenching respect for the rule of law both within the policing system and in the discharge of policing services to the general public,” he concludes.
