Elections: PSC Replaces Naja’atu Following APC PCC Outcry

The Police Service Commission has replaced Naja’atu Muhammad with a retired Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Bawa Lawal, to coordinate the monitoring of police officers’ conduct in the North-West region during the presidential election.

This followed outcry by the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council which alleged Naja’atu’s partisanship on Monday.

KOKO TV reported that the PSC on Sunday had announced the appointment of the former Director of the Civil Society directorate of the APC PCC, Naja’atu, as one of the coordinators that will supervise conduct of police officers during general forthcoming elections.

The commission, which appointed Naja’atu alongside 44 others, also threatened to deal with the police officers who misbehave during the conduct of next general elections across 36 States as well as the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

KOKO TV had reported how the Kano-born politician criticized the ruling APC and its Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu after she resigned from the party and her position, saying the challenges Nigeria faces require her to continue championing the struggle for a better country with a clear conscience.
