Fresh Twist In Police Officers’ Retirement Saga As IGP Sets Up Disciplinary Committee Against Senior Police Officers Who Refused To Retire

Sunday February 9, 2025 | TheNewsDESK

Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun has instituted a disciplinary committee to handle the cases of senior officers who have allegedly refused to proceed on retirement despite clocking 60 years or spending 35 years in service.

The committee will sit at the Force Headquarters, Abuja from tomorrow, Monday, February 10, till Thursday, February 13, 2025, it was gathered yesterday.

Those summoned include an Assistant Inspector General, at least two Commissioners of Police and a high ranking police lawyer.

The IGP directive said the affected officers should put up appearance in “their clean working dress.”

They were also warned that daily dress code should be “strictly adhered to” during their appearance.

The Police Service Commission(PSC) at a meeting in Abuja earlier this month ordered the immediate retirement of all senior police officers who have either exceeded 35 years in service or are above the age of 60.
