I-G’s tenure extension, prerogative of the President – PSC

According to the Police Service Commission (PSC), President Muhammadu Buhari, and not the commission, has the authority to extend Mr Usman Baba's term as Inspector-General of Police (I-G).

The PSC's Head of Press and Public Relations, Mr Ikechukwu Ani, stated this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.

Ani stated that the explanation came after a report in an online magazine that quoted Mr Lawal Bawa, a commissioner in the PSC, as indicating that it had approved the extension of the I-mandate. G's

Despite Bawa's subsequent denial of making the statement, he said that the PSC should nonetheless provide clarification in order to put the situation in its appropriate context.

“The commission, therefore, wishes to state that it has not endorsed any tenure elongation for the current I-G. The commission was never contacted on this subject at any time.

“The commission will always commit itself to the letters and spirit of the laws of the land and will not at any time support or encourage any attempt to subvert these laws,” he said.

He called on the media to avoid unnecessary sensationalism in their attempt to attract a huge readership. (NAN)
