• Reprimands commission for flouting Buhari’s directives, engaging external lawyersThe Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami , has reprimanded the Chairman of the
Police Service Commission, Musiliu Smith, for appealing a judgment of the Federal High Court which upheld the power of the Inspector-General of Police to recruit police constables.
Malami, in a letter with reference number SGF/PS/MIA/90/II dated March 3, 2020, directed Smith, a retired IG, to discontinue the appeal immediately.The recruitment of 10,000 constables had been enmeshed in crisis following the takeover of the exercise by the current IG, Mohammed Adamu, a move that did not go down well with the commission which challenged the development in court.
He further pointed out that the commission was in breach of extant Federal Government circulars which mandated all Ministries, Departments and Agencies to obtain the prior consent of the AGF before engaging external solicitors. He said, “Despite being duly notified of Mr President’s directives, your commission chose to further subject this sensitive matter to judicial review. You will recall that the Federal High Court has now judicially endorsed the legal opinion given by my office and subsequently approved by Mr President.”
