The National Industrial Court in Abuja has threatened to jail the Inspector General of Police, Alkali Usman, over his persistent disobedience to order of the court.
The court’s reaction followed a suit instituted by four senior-rank police officers who were allegedly retired unlawfully retired from service.
The court had nullified the premature retirement of the senior police officers numbering about 20 and ordered the IGP and the Police Service Commission to immediately reinstate them but the order has not been complied with.
Justice Oyewumi thereafter fixed May 2, 2023, for the IGP and the force secretary to appear before the court.
