The Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Mike Okiro, says President Goodluck Jonathan told the Police Council that he sacked Suleiman Abba, as the Inspector-General of Police because of the gross indiscipline he noticed among the rank and file under his watch.

Okiro disclosed this to State House correspondents on Tuesday after a meeting of the council during which Mr. Solomon Arase, who was earlier appointed as Abba’s successor in acting capacity, was confirmed.

He explained that a governor who was present at the meeting asked Jonathan to tell Nigerians why Abba was sacked. Okiro said, “I may not attempt to answer that question (on why Abba was sacked) because I was not part of the Presidency that removed him; so I cannot give adequate answer.

“Though at the (Police Council) 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.”
