PSC suspends promotion in police

Following bickering and complaints over promotion of police officers, the Federal Government has instructed the Police Service Commission (PSC) to suspend the exercise for now.

In the last couple of months, the PSC has been considering recommended police officers for promotion. Some officers have been promoted, while another promotion exercise was earlier scheduled for consideration tomorrow when the PSC was billed to meet.

Sources revealed that junior deputy commissioners of police to the rank of commissioners of police have been recommended for promotion above officers on the same rank who enlisted in the police first.

Daily Sun investigation revealed that the police high command had recommended some police officers to the PSC for promotion, which has caused a lot bad feelings among police officers who see the development as unjustified.
