The Police Service Commission only has the power on promotion and disciplinary issues, as posting is at the discretion of the IGP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo this end, therefore, we call on the IGP to rescind his decision to post CP Longe to Osun State to avoid a breakdown of law and order, as from all indications, he is drafted to the state for a hatchet mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the rights group, the state needs to be handled by a neutral and highly professional CP who is not ready to compromise and is committed to the maintenance of law and order no matter whose ox is gored.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey should also let Nigerians know CP Faleye\u2019s offence to warrant his removal after just two months as Commissioner of Police in Osun State and despite the huge commendations by the good people of Osun for his professionalism,\u201d the group demanded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
