“Everywhere in the world, a police force is a representative of the people and the government such that there is a need to give it an ethos that will be admired by all,” according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.
Prof. Osinbajo said this when he received, on behalf of the President, the Annual Report of the Police Service Commission, PSC, from the Acting Chairman, Rtd. Justice Clara Ogunbiyi who led a delegation of the Commission’s Management Team to the Presidential Villa earlier today.
The Police Service Commission presents an Annual Report in accordance with Section 17 of the Police Service Commission (Establishment) Act 2001.
Referencing some parts of the report, Prof Osinbajo noted the issue of the internal investigation of the police when things go wrong.
“I think that it is very crucial because we mustn’t give the impression to the Nigerian public that the police will get away with anything and that whatever happens, there is no accountability.
He observed that “it just adds to the confidence that people have in our police force and our government that we are responsible and accountable when we are wrong and we make payments where it is necessary.”
In her remarks, the Acting Chairman of the Commission noted that “it is a well-known fact that one of the bastions of your administration is upholding the rule of law. As members of the Management team of the Commission, we have no other alternative than to guard this mandate jealously as expressed by the framers of the Constitution.”
