The Nigeria Police Force said it had taken steps toward complying with the reinstatement of a senior police officer, Patrick Okoli, as ordered by the court in 2011.

“The IGP reassures Nigerians of his unalloyed commitment and steadfastness in defending the rule of law and respecting judicial authorities and hence, will not wittingly or unwittingly disobey any order validly granted by courts of competent jurisdiction.”

The spokesperson for the PSC, Ikechukwu Ani, in an interview with one of our correspondents, said, “We will investigate this. We’ll check our archives and talk to the promotions department at the PSC to confirm whether a letter of reinstatement was written to the PSC by the former IG. I can’t confirm it now, because it’s a long time ago, and we’ve had several PSC chairmen and staff members since then, hence, we need to confirm from our records.

The High Court sitting in Minna, Niger State, had issued a warrant of arrest for the Chief of Army Staff, General Faruk Yahaya, for contempt. Also, a warrant of arrest was issued against the Commandant of the Training and Doctrine Command, Minna, Major General Olugbenga Olabanji, over the same offence.
