The Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Mr. Mike Okiro, on Tuesday quoted President Goodluck Jonathan as informing the Police Council that he sacked Mr. Suleiman Abba, as the Inspector-General of Police because of the gross indiscipline he noticed among the rank and file under his watch.

Okiro spoke with State House correspondents after a meeting of the council during which Mr. Solomon Arase, who was earlier appointed as Abba’s successor in acting capacity, was confirmed.

He said the meeting deliberated on issues bordering on security and how to ensure that Nigerians live in peace.

He explained that the new IGP was brought on board to ensure that lives and property of Nigerians are well protected.Okiro said one of the state governors who attended the meeting told Jonathan that Nigerians would want to know why Abba was sacked.

He said, “I may not attempt to answer that question (on why Abba was sacked) because I was not part of the Presidency that removed him; so I cannot give adequate answer.

“Though at the (Police Council) meeting, the President tried to explain to members based on the question raised by one of the governors that Nigerians may want to know why the former IGP was removed.
