The National Chairman of North East Youth and Elders Peoples Forum NEYEPF, Salihu Magaji has commended the Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun for rejecting the ongoing police constable recruitment that was marred by alleged corruption and irregularities.
Magaji stated this in Bauchi when he addressed a press conference, he said those calling for the sack of IGP are self centered people who are saying that the critics want the allegations raised swept under the carpet.
According to Magaji, issues raised by the Police boss should be properly investigated in the interest of Nigeria. Magaji said the IGP must have received series of complaints and allegations of corruption before rejecting the exercise. “Most especially the disappearance of the names of screened candidates who were successful to the last stage.”
He urged President Bola Tinubu to order for a thorough investigation into the entire exercise and punish who ever found wanting
"If the majority of the (PSC) members’ hands are not clean, Mr President should evacuate all of them from the commission and replace them, he should punish the offenders according to their offenses and transfer the remaining to other ministries.
Magaji said the President should also reward the IGP for refusing to accept unqualified newly recruited police men, adding that his actions protect the integrity of the Police.
He commended the IGP for his effort to provide internal security by protecting life and properties of citizens through commitment and exemplary leadership style he is exhibiting.
