The Police Service Commission (PSC), has invited Senator Isah Misau, Chairman Senate Committee on Navy, to appear before its Special Panel.
The senator, representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, was asked to appear before the panel on Sept 6.
Head, Public Relations of the commission, Ikechukwu Ani, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
The spokesman noted that the invitation letter was signed by the Chairman of the Special Panel, retired Justice O. Adekeye.
Ani said that the panel will scrutinize the genuineness or otherwise of the two letters of retirement supposed to have emanated from the commission.
He said that the commission received correspondence from the Nigeria Police Force Special Investigation Panel (SIP) on August 24 relating to Misau’s retirement from the Police.
“The Police Service Commission, the only organ saddled with the statutory responsibility of issuing letters of retirement to all Police Officers except the IGP, has a vital role to play in determining the authenticity of this letter,” he said.
Ani added that Misau will need to present the original copy of his letter of retirement for authentication.
The panel will also question the lawmaker on his allegations that special promotions in the Police were being monetized.
Misau had accused the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, of failing to remit money realised from policemen attached to private citizens and companies, he put at N10 billion monthly, to the Federation Account.
He also alleged that Commissioners of Police usually bribe Idris before they are posted to “juicy states”.
The Police, however, reported Misau to the PSC and asked him to return to service, insisting he did not legitimately resign from the Force.
