Former Inspector-General of Police, Mike Okiro has called on the Police Service Commission and the Nigeria Police Force to work in harmony for national security.
Okiro in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, said that the fight against insecurity would remain a mirage, unless the commission and the police worked in harmony with the aim of policing Nigeria with vigour.
According to him, what Nigerians desire now is how the country will exit the ravaging insecurity pervading the land which demands that the two establishments must eschew whatever is their perceived bitterness and embrace the fact that their jobs go hand in hand.
Okiro who was a former chairman of the PSC noted that the lingering problem had done collateral damage to their public image, and ridiculed the international standing of Nigeria maintaining that the powers of recruitment, discipline and promotion of police personnel other than the I-G, were vested in the Police Service Commission.
