The Senator representing Bauchi
Central in the National Assembly, Isah Hamma Misau, has said police officers
pay as much as N2.5million to get special promotion through the Police Service
Commission (PSC).
Misau, a retired police officer
disclosed this while reacting to the bribery scandal allegedly rocking the PSC.
He told Daily Trust: “A serving
police officer aware of the trend has told me that they pay as much as N2.5
million to get special promotion. Other sources have also confirmed to me. So
it is nothing but fact.’’
Misau, who is a member of the
anti-corruption committee of the Senate said he would discuss the issue with
the leadership of the Senate, when they resume from annual recess next month.
“We cannot just fold our hands
and allow this to continue. The special promotion should be reversed as it was
done during the time of Nuhu Ribadu. Unless this is done the lives of Nigerians
would no longer be secured. The special promotion is highly compromised.
“Corruption is not only
associated with money, it has many forms and money for promotion is part of it.
We have to urgently address this because the consequence is what we are witness
today,’’ he said.
When there is no any other person than Mike Okiro to head the commission. What do you expect? When he was in Lagos as CP, what was the crime rate? secondly as IG what was his effect and consequences in the nation?
ReplyDeleteLet people check their memories and security agencies too to check the crime rate during his term in office!
