IGP reacts to three-month prison sentence

 IGP reacts to three-month prison sentence

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba has reacted to the order of a Federal High Court in Abuja, on Tuesday, sentencing him (IGP) to three months in prison for flouting a 2011 court order.

The IGP’s committal followed a suit that was filed by a police officer, Patrick Okoli, who was unlawfully and compulsorily retired from the Nigerian Police Force.

Reacting to the court’s ruling, the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi issued said the IGP did not disregard the court order or the rule of law as “the office is not aware of any Court Order, during the current IGP’s tenure, with respect to a matter making the round in the media that the IGP disobeyed a Court Order for the reinstatement of a dismissed officer of the Force”.

The statement read, “The Nigeria Police Force wishes to state emphatically that the office of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, psc(+),NPM, NEAPS, fdc, CFR, did not disregard Court Order or rule of law as the office is not aware of any Court Order, during the current IGP’s tenure, with respect to a matter making the round in the media that the IGP disobeyed a Court Order for the reinstatement of a dismissed officer of the Force.

“It is instructive to note that the case in point concerns an officer who was dismissed as far back as 1992, a few years after the current IGP joined the Nigeria Police Force, based on available facts gleaned from the reports. The most recent judgement on the matter was given in 2011 which should ordinarily not fall under the direct purview of the current administration of the Force. Thus, the news is strange and astonishing.

“The IGP has however directed the Commissioner of Police in charge of the Force Legal Unit to investigate the allegation in a bid to ascertain the position of the court and profer informed legal advice for the IGP’s prompt and necessary action.

“The Inspector-General of Police reiterates his commitment to upholding the rule of law and synergizing with the judiciary to ensure quick dispensation of justice for an improved criminal justice system.”

  • A few days back I discovered an interesting article about a
    crypto platform called Paybis and honestly it caught my attention.

    The post shared insights on how crypto platforms can be used more effectively, and it wasn’t full of complicated jargon.

    After reading it, I told my family member, and he started
    learning more about crypto. Within the next month, he started managing his money differently.

    He didn’t just sit around — he started testing
    things carefully. Eventually, he managed to reach around 100k — not overnight, but through
    learning.
    What surprised me most is how his lifestyle changed.
    He even treated himself to a new car, something like a Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and started enjoying life more.
    He even met someone new who shares his lifestyle.

    It depends on your effort, but the story is genuine, and that article
    definitely changed the way we look at money.

    There’s actually a way to check it out here, and I’d seriously advise
    you to check it.
    Information really can make a difference.
