A public opinion analyst, Comrade Austin Usman Okai has called on the Inspector General of Police, Idris Ibrahim to caution or remove the Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Abdullahi Chaffe over meddlesomeness in the ongoing re-screening of civil servants in the state.
In a press statement issued in Lokja today, Okai accused the Kogi police chief of compromising the integrity of the force by conniving with the state government that has workers their salaries for over ten months.
Okai wondered why the committee kept ordering the arrest of helpless and pain-stricken civil servants over issues that are easy to resolve but above the intellectual capacity of the committee members.
“How come the kangaroo committee is able to detect fake results and documents without recourse to the issuing authorities and victims hauled into police custody with an express instructions to the Kogi police commissioner to detain those affected”, he asked.
Okai Austin expressed dismay over the attitude of some members of the committee and state government in partnership with police commissioner for subjecting workers to untold hardship.
He particularly faulted the inclusion of Hajiya Ladi Ibrahim, Yakubu Okala and other moles planted by the Kogi government to do the dirty job under the nomenclature of NGO and concerned citizens. He alleged that they are on a pre-arranged assignment and not members of the bodies they claimed.
Okai Austin warned Kogi police commissioner that it will mobilise Kogi workers to protest against its action if he does not desist from the current spate of human rights abuse saying workers are entitled to their rights and privileges.
He berated the state government for been at the forefront of the whole drama to inflict more hardship on the workers, promising to mobilise and sensitise workers at all levels to resist all anomalies against them.
