The Police Service Commission (PSC) on Wednesday urged President Bola Tinubu to immediately dismiss the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, for undermining the police recruitment process.

The PSC also addressed allegations of corruption against itself. During a press briefing in Abuja, Adoyi Adoyi, Chairman of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) and the Joint Union Congress of the Police Service Commission (PSC), expressed displeasure over what he called false allegations against the PSC.

Over the weekend, the IGP, through a statement by Force Public Relations Officer ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, claimed that the recruitment process was tainted with irregularities and corruption. Adoyi countered this, revealing reliable information that elements within the police force attempted to unlawfully add over 1,000 names to the recruitment list.
