“It will be very insensitive at this point for anyone to say that the Commission will dismiss any policeman who didn’t return to work.”
The attention of the Police Service Commission had been drawn to a publication in a newspaper publication of Saturday, October 31, 2020, reporting that the Police Service Commission will dismiss Police officers who fail to return to work.
The Police Service Commission wishes to state that it did not any time say Policemen who refused to get back to work will be dismissed.
Ikechukwu Ani, head, press and public relations officer of the Commission made this known in a brief on Saturday.
The Commission had condemned the killing of Police officers on legitimate duties and had warned that any attempt to make the country lawless will be an ill-wind that will blow nobody any good.

Ani further stated that “the Commission can only plead with the officers to in the spirit of nationalism return to work while Government works out enough protective programs for them.”
“The Commission will continue to do its best to ensure the police are motivated to do its job. The Commission being the employers of the Police is pained that Policemen were killed and stations set ablaze throughout the country.
“It will be very insensitive at this point for anyone to say that the Commission will dismiss any policeman who didn’t return to work.
“The Commission is even at present mourning the deaths of its gallant officers who were killed in the crisis,” Ani stated.
