Chairman of the Police Service
Commission (PSC), Dr Solomon
Arase, has condemned the killing of
police officers on official duties
stressing that these officers are also
Nigerians who deserve the support,
encouragement and protection of
citizens.

The PSC Chairmam, a retired inspector￾general of police said the killings in some states across the nation has become worrisome and called
on the Inspector-General to take
another look at the capacity of
state command leaderships in the
country.

The spokesperson of the PSC,
Ikechukwu Ani said Dr Arase noted
that there must be consequences for
these avoidable incidents adding
that any state commissioner of
police found incompetent, derelict
and operationally/tactically porous
should be eased out to avoid these
huge police casualties.

He said, “We have had more
than a fair share of these ugly
developments in recent times and
called for integrated intelligence
policing.”

The PSC chairman condoled
with the families of the slain
officers and said time has come for
state command commissioners to
rise up to the occasion.

The PSC also condoled with
the inspector-general of police,
Olukayode Egbetokun on these
unfortunate developments,
especially at a time when all
hands should be on deck
to rid the nation of militancy and
banditry.

He enjoined serving officers
not to be demotivated by these ugly
developments but to reenact their
indomitable fighting spirit that the
Force is known for to ward off this
new wave of assaults.
