Police academy lecturer petitions PSC over ‘mutilation of his promotion letter’

Goddy Igbaekemen, a lecturer at the Nigeria Police Academy in Kano, has petitioned the Police Service Commission (PSC) over an alleged removal and mutilation of documents from his official records.

In the petition, Igbaekemen alleged that documents removed from his records were mutilated to prevent him from being promoted.

He said his promotion had been duly approved by the authorities of the academy since 2015.

He added that he discovered the development after several official letters to the registrar of the academy, seeking retrieval of the document.

He said his travails in the academy started when he was unlawfully disengaged from service in 2016 but was reinstated after the intervention of the national assembly committee on petitions.

Igbaekemen said he was denied all promotions despite the intervention and resolution by the national assembly.

“For the avoidance of doubt, I am eminently qualified to be promoted and conferred with the status of a professor” he was quoted as saying by NAN.

He added that the academy has neither promoted him nor paid his necessary arrears to date.

Igbaekemen appealed to Solomon Arase, PSC chairperson, to direct the commandant and management of the academy to release his promotion letter.

He also asked Arase to mandate the academy to properly place him in his deserved position of a professor and pay all his accrued entitlements.

Igbaekemen further appealed to the PSC chairman to direct the inspector general of police (IGP) to immediately commence an investigation into the allegations raised in his petition.
