The Police Service Commission on Wednesday authenticated the retirement letter of Senator Isah Misau, Chairman Senate Committee on Navy.
The Nigeria Police Force on 27 August declared Misau a ”deserter”, and accused him of carrying a forged retirement letter.
Misau was then invited by the commission to appear before its special panel investigating the genuineness or otherwise of the senator’s retirement letter which emanated from the commission.
The Head, Press and Public Relations of the commission, Ikechukwu Ani, told News Agency of Nigeria that the committee confirmed that the letter was issued by the commission.
He said Misau, who did not appear before the committee, did not give any reason for his absence.
He said Misau’s retirement followed due process and was based on a recommendation from the Force Headquarters.
Before the allegation of false retirement, Misau, in a series of interviews with newsmen, had accused the Inspector General of Police of taking bribe to post police officers as well as diverting money paid by private companies for police duties.
The accusation is suspected to be the reason the police authority accused the senator of not following due process in pursuit of his retirement.
