The Police Service Commission (PSC), on Tuesday, turned down the service extension granted a former Chief Security Officer (CSO) to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr. Abdulkarim Dauda, by a former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.
Dauda, a Commissioner of Police, due to retire in January 2020, had his service extended to January 2023 by the former police chief.
He was also ordered to refund the salaries earned between the period.

The PSC board, at their 13th plenary meeting, frowned at the former IGP’s move, saying Dauda wrote to the Commission to promote him to the rank of Assistant Inspector-General of Police.
The Commissioner, representing the South-South Zone in the Commission, Austin Braimo, while addressing journalists, in Abuja, after the meeting also announced the promotion of two Assistant Inspectors-General of Police to the rank of Deputy Inspector-General of Police.
Six Commissioners of Police were also promoted to the rank of Assistant Inspectors-General of Police.
“We want to ensure that justice is done. That is what the board has done. We took the decision so that it will act as a deterrent. The board has taken a decision and the decision will be communicated to the IGP,” Braimo said.
