He said the commission also approved a reduction in rank of nine other officers, including a commissioner of police.
The former president said: “when you make a retired police officer the head of the Police Service Commission, it is like asking a thief to catch a thief.’’
The Police Service Commission has approved the promotion of 745 senior police officers and the proper placement for five police commissioners.
A letter of warning was also issued to two officers while four were exonerated.
Ikechukwu Ani, PSC spokesman, said this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.
