Chairman
of the Police Service Commission, Mike Okiro, has revealed why the
immediate past Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba was fired by
President Jonathan on May 21st. Mr Okiro gave the reason while speaking
with newsmen after the Council of State meeting where the new IGP
Solomon Arase was confirmed as a substantive IGP yesterday May 12th
“I’m
not part of the Presidency that removed him, so I cannot give adequate
answer. Though at the meeting
President Jonathan tried to explain to
members, based on the question raised by one of the governors that
Nigerians may want to know why the former IGP was removed. The
President, who was very brief in his response said, during the period of
the former IGP, a lot of indiscipline was noticed among the Police rank
and file and as such he felt that a new IG should come and try his
luck. That is what he said, though I cannot give details of that" he
said
