The Chairman of the Police Service Commission, DIG Hashimu Argungu, rtd mni, today in Abuja, received in audience a group from the Kimpact Development Initiative who were on a courtesy visit to the Commission.
The team led by Olufemi Adebayo, Head, Research and Strategy, was at the Commission to rub minds with the Commission Chairman on the implementation of some of the nation’s laws.
DIG Argungu looked at the provisions of the Nigerian Public Order Act and noted that, compared with those of other countries in Europe and Africa, it is more Liberal, especially on issues such as public gatherings.
He advised, however, that every action must be done within the ambit of the law, including arrest and detention.
The PSC Chairman said most times, those agitating for respect for the right to fair hearing, to life, etc, violate these rights more than those they are agitating for and noted that there should be respect and obedience for the true letters of our laws. According to him, “you have rights, but there are rules that define their application.”
The PSC Chairman also received in audience a team from Nigeria Connect, who came to pledge their support for the Commission and the Nigeria Police in the area of provision of requisite books for the professionalisation of the two institutions.
