The Police Service Commission (PSC) has dismissed four senior Police Officers for misconduct and acts unbecoming of public officers.
The dismissed officers were however not named in the statement issued on Sunday by the PSC Head, Press and Public Relations, Mr Ikechukwu Ani, in Lagos.
Ani said that the PSC took the decisions at the 10th Plenary Meeting presided over by its Chairman, Mr Musiliu Smith, a retired Inspector General of Police on Friday.
“A Chief Superintendent of Police was dismissed for discreditable conduct, dishonesty and acts unbecoming of a public officer.
“A Superintendent of Police was also dismissed for conspiring with four others to vandalise a transformer and stealing. The Commission has also directed that the officer should be prosecuted.
“The two other dismissed officers included a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP )and an Assistant Superintendent of Police,” he said.
Ani said that the DSP led a team that intercepted three Mercedes Benz trucks conveying about 300,000 live cartridges believed to have been smuggled across the border from Benin Republic.
“The team was said to have impounded the trucks at base for three days but made no entries nor a situation report on the arrest.
