The Police Service Commission (PSC) has promised to investigate the bribery allegations levelled against one Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), Emmanuel Aina.

The Commission’s decision, according to the Head of Press and Public Relations, Mr. Ikechukwu Ani, followed a protest by a group who stormed its corporate headquarters in Jabi, Abuja.

The protesters, carrying placards and operating under the umbrella body of the Centre for Human Rights and Advocacy in Africa Network (CHRAAN), demanded a probe of the AIG, whom they accused of abuse of office.

Ani, in a statement issued in Abuja, said, “The Commission wishes to state that it will look into the complaints and ensure that justice is served to both parties.”

He assured of the Commission’s commitment to continue to hold the Police accountable for its actions and inactions, but enjoins Nigerians to also give the Police the required support and cooperation to give of its best.

He said the Commission has since launched a whistle-blowing policy and called on Nigerians to feel free to blow the whistle on official corruption in its activities and on the institutions it has oversight control.
