PSC Chair, Arase Warns Officers Against Meddling In Land Matters, Debt Collection

The chairman of the police service commission (PSC), Solomon Arase has asked officers to desist from meddling in issues of land and debt collection.

In a statement on Friday by Ikechukwu Ani, spokesperson of the commission, Arase spoke when he received the national leadership of the police community relations committee in Abuja.

President Muhammadu Buhari had recently appointed Arase to chair the commission.

Arase, a former inspector-general of police, said such disputes are to be addressed through alternative dispute resolution.

The PSC chairman expressed concern over the surge in human rights abuse cases in the police.

He promised to work with Usman Baba, the inspector-general of police to improve the performance of the officers.

He said police officers must face the consequences of their misconduct and also enjoy the benefits of their good behaviours.
