 Following threats by its workers to embark on a three-day warning strike this week, the Police Service Commission has summoned the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, to a meeting on the ongoing recruitment of 10,000 constables. It was learnt that a PSC management agreed during their meeting to meet with the IGP to seek the way forward on the workers' demand. Meanwhile, the workers have finalised plans to embark on strike importers against the commission's alleged abdication of its responsibility to the police. The workers are accused in the commission led by Alhajim Isliu Smith, a retired Inspector General of Police of surrendering the recruitment of constables to the police in violation of the order of the Court of Appeal which upheld the mandate. The 2020 recruitment of constables had run into trouble waters when the police took over the exercise, but a controversy was laid to rest when the Court of Appeal ruled that the commission had the constitutional mandate to carry out the recruitment process. Despite the court order, the police carried out the recruitment of the 2021 batch of 10,000 constables and had also commenced the 2022 batch, a development that the workers have vowed to resist.
