Jonathan sacked Abba because of indiscipline — former IGP, Okiro

Former Inspector General of Police and chairman of the Police Service Commission, Mike Okiro has disclosed that immediate past IGP, Suleiman Abba was sacked because of noticeable indiscipline in the Nigerian Police Force. In a chat with the press, Okiro disclosed that president Jonathan said that indiscipline was noticed among the rank and file of the police during the reign of Abba.

“I may not attempt to answer that question because I’m not part of the presidency that removed him, so I cannot give adequate answer. Though at the meeting [the president] tried to explain to members, based on the question raised by one of the governors, that Nigerians may want to know why the former IGP was removed.

“The president, in very brief way, said during the period of the former IGP, a lot of indiscipline was noticed among the rank and file of the police and as such he felt that a new IG should come and try his luck. That is what he said, though I cannot give details of that.”

Recall that Abba was removed on April 21 in a terse statement by Reuben Abati, presidential spokesman, with no reason given.
