Clara Ogunbiyi  Becomes Acting  Head Of Police Service Commission

A retired Supreme Court Justice, Clara Ogunbiyi , would be taking over as head of the Police Service Commission , PSC, following the  decision of Alhaji Musilu Smith to retire from his position as Chairman of the commission.

The commission and the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba had disagreed over the handling of recruitment, promotion, and appointment of constables and officers. 

Smith , a one-time Inspector General of Police ,  was appointed  as PSC Chairman by President Muhammadu Buhari  in  May 2018 .

Team@orientactualmags.com  learned activities had been paralyzed at the commission for a few weeks now following the indefinite strike by the PSC workers .

 It will be recalled that Smith was also removed by the then  President Olusegun Obasanjo as Police chief on Wednesday, 6 March, 2002  five weeks after junior police officers embarked on strike over pay.

Ogunbiyi will  head  the commission in acting capacity until President Muhammadu Buhari appoints a substantive chairman.

Spokesman  for the commission, Ikechukwu Ani,  had since confirmed Smith’s resignation.

The acting head of the commission, retired Justice Clara Ogunbiyi , headed the five-member Court of Appeal panel that declared Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as winner of the April 2007 Osun state gubernatorial election  on  26 November  2010- Team@orientactualmags.com
